[CBQ] Texas Zephyr Southbound Amarillo-Dallas Sleeper Summer 1961

["Stephen Levine via groups.io" <sjl_prodigynet=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

The May-Oct 1961 Burlington System Time Table shows a 8 Section 5 Double 
Bedroom sleeper running Amarillo-Dallas southbound only. This, I presume, was 
during the time that the train was using the ex-DZ trainsets of 1936. If so, as 
none of ex-DZ sleepers had this exact configuration, though the second 
articulated sleeper set had one car with 12 sections and the other with 6 
bedrooms, 1 drawing room, and 3 compartments, more than enough accommodations 
to cover what was advertised for this car. And as the through Denver-Dallas 
sleeper traffic was being handled by the 1938 stand-alone 4 roomette, 4 duplex 
single room, 4 double room, 1 compartment, 1 drawing room car, the articulated 
sleeper set described above would have been available.

If a different car was being used, how could it have been coupled to the train, 
given that the brake hose arrangement of the 1936 was not compatible with other 
standard passenger cars.

Can anyone here shed light on what was actually going on with the 
Amarillo-Dallas sleeper in 1961?
