[CBQ] Silver Charger in the 60’s

["Thomas Johnson (60/M) via CBQ" <t.m.j=comcast.net@groups.io>]

Hey everyone. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

 

So my 2nd grade elementary school room (2nd floor) looked out onto the CB&Q mainline (joint with Milwaukee Road) on the Twin Cities to Chicago line just south of St Paul. It was this school year that I absolutely fell in love with the Q. This would have been around the 62-63 timeframe. Anyways, one day the Q had a work train doing some track work. Lo and behold, the power for the work train was none other than the Silver Charger. What a site that was.

 

Unfortunately, the only thing that I remember from that work train was that big silver beast! My question to the group is, would anyone happen to know what cars would have been in that work train?

I have the HO brass Silver Charger with the General Pershing Zephyr cars, but I think it would be cool to have said work train for it to pull also. I converted to N scale 6 years ago, but refuse to give up my Silver Charger!!!

 

Thank You,

Tom Johnson
