I would like to model the CB&Q-NYC joint freights on my layout. I am on the "NYC" end, so the CB&Q units "should" be in the consist, but not leading due to the NYC ATS system.
Some questions:
1. Where did these trains run to/from? I think St Paul - Selkirk. Any others? (Denver?)
2. What were the symbols on the Q and NYC?
3. Did the Q power run all the way to Selkirk (or whatever the NYC destination was). I have seen pictures of Q power on the NYC in Elkhart, IN and NYC power on the Q in Denver, CO.
4. Timeframe these runs started?
5. What was predominate traffic? (this is so I know to run Boxcars, Auto Parts Boxcars, Auto racks, Reefers...any Covered Hoppers, coal hoppers, tank cars, gondolas?)
6. What Q power was (mostly) used? I have seen an SD24 in the Chinese Red scheme. I assume that GP30s, GP35s, U25B would be used- did any of the Blackbird scheme Geeps or SD7/9's make it onto the NYC. How about some F3s or F7s! (I may have to do that anyway- it is my layout!)
I really like the CB&Q schemes- both the Chinese Red and the Blackbird. Dang nice! And I think the F units look cool as well.
Many thanks!
