Re: [CBQ] Aurora Station in the push-pull era

Hi Don,

To answer you last question, 100% push-pull operation did not come until cab cars 796-815 were delivered in 1973. Having trains without cab cars along with a few that do would be accurate for 1966. Only six cab cars were delivered to the Q in 1965, which was not enough to equip all the dinkys to push-pull.

I'm laying track for my Aurora Station.  I'm modelling 1966, with the intent to use push-pull consists (although I might include a mix of trains without a cab control car).   Looking at the the track plan, I started to wonder how the west switches would be used.   Originally, they would be needed to pull engines off incoming trains so the locos could be turned for the return trip.

But in the push-pull era, did the west switches see much use?

With no need to turn locos, did the turntable see much use?

When was the conversion to 100% push-pull complete?

Thanks!
