[CBQ] Major Remaining Passenger Car Roster Update on BRHS Website

["Bryan Howell via groups.io" <tubaman21=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

All,

I've completed a major update to the remaining passenger car list and the detailed passenger car roster on the BRHS website. Two significant updates were the driver for this overhaul.

1. Dave Varilek has purchased 5 CB&Q passenger cars and sent me a list of updates on those cars and others.

2. Dirk Lenthe of West Fargo, ND, has donated the remainder of his collection to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. This consists of three CB&Q cars, Silver Lookout, Silver Plateau, and Silver Ravine, along with the "Dagny Taggart," ex-NYC 10564 "Singing Brook" and his collection of parts and railroad materials. The two Q ex-DZ sleepers are in poor condition after 30+ years of storage and may end up being parted out. Silver Lookout is planned to enter service on the North Shore Scenic Railroad. Plans to get these cars moved to Duluth are currently in motion and trucks/wheelsets will likely move first in order to get other museum owned equipment back into service quicker. This is the largest single donation in the museum's history. As a side note, the large 2-rail O scale layout of the DW&P donated by former CB&Q employee Jim Seacrest has found a home in the museum and will be set up for permanent display in the Duluth Depot as part of an ongoing 2 year HVAC project in the building.

Many thanks to Dave Varilek for passing along the updates and for saving these cars! If there are any errors or updates, please let me know. I've added links to almost every car that takes you to further information about the car or a Google map that shows the current location of the car.
