I checked the messages archives and this question has never been answered:

*Where did the CB&Q run its Flexi-Van service?*

Close to that is: *Where were the CB&Q Flexi-Van terminals?* Since speciali=
zed equipment (bogies and yard tractors) was needed to load and unload Flex=
i-Vans, I would think the actual Flexi-Van terminals would be clearly ident=
ified somewhere.

There is photo evidence of Flexi-Vans on certain passenger trains, includin=
g the recent one I posted that shows one on the Black Hawk. But the lack of=
 photos still makes it hard for me to understand what the actual Flexi-Van =
routes were. I know the Black Hawk was scheduled for night service, so ther=
e aren't nearly as many photos of it as the Zephyrs, but I would think ther=
e might be some documentation about regular Flexi-Van service on this or ot=
her Q trains somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated. Or perhaps we have something in the BRHS arc=
hives?
