I saw the top part of the caption. I guess I missed the bottom part. Thanks for pointing it out. Since apparently nobody else actually read the caption on the photo: "Note the new gallery car cut
I believe by the time you saw the train, the ex-CZ F's had been downgraded to freight service only. I remember this train as a boy of 10 or 11. I lived at Campion, about 4 miles south of Loveland.
The original custom built 1800 HP passenger units, including 9904 thru 9907 and Santa Fe units 1 and 1A, all had B trucks. The Santa Fe units were full length and encountered tracking issues with th
Looking at the photo, it looks like 511 also has B trucks, at least on the front. The original custom built 1800 HP passenger units, including 9904 thru 9907 and Santa Fe units 1 and 1A, all had B

What is happening with them? No, sorry, none of the 1936 DZ/TZ cars are operational. Rick Mills SDSRM ________________________________ From: Stephen Levine <sjl_prodigynet@yahoo.com> To: cbq@yahoog
The website confirms what I have read elsewhere. The Advance Flyer was a Chicago-Omaha/Lincoln train. As such, I do not believe that it was the first section of the Exposition Flyer. Both the Advan
I realize that this post has nothing to do with railroading or the Q. However, I will list my favorite car that we will never see again. And that is the 1956 Budd-built Vista Dome Parlor Observation
Ironically, the office car Burlington is, IIRC, now named Mississippi River. While the Roundup was built into streamlined configuration in 1953, didn t it ressemble a prewar Budd car? -- Yahoo! Group
I also identify a pre-war car by the full car length ridge above the letterboard. I thought I saw a drawing where the Roundup had this feature, but I could be remembering incorrectly. Incidentally. w
Found a photo of The Round-up on the Web. It definitely has the full car length ridge above the letterboard which is what made me think it was a pre-war car. I wonder why, when the car was refurbis

Another photo of The Round-up, clearly from the BN. http://railwayclassics.com/images/biz%20cars/BC-BN03.jpg I think someone previously mentioned where the car is now, but I would be appreciated
Since it is a stainless steel sheathed car, how has it held up regarding rusting underneath the sheathing? When I talked to the owners of the car back in January, The Round Up (now called Northern
Bob I understand what you said. I just was curious whether it was actually confirmed by the car itself. I apologize if you took offense. None was intended. sjl I guess one more try. The P-S
The Q did not have a dome coach named Silver Mustang. The only Silver Mustang was the one on the CZ owned by the D&RGW. I don't know if the Q had one of the same name, but the D&RGW had the *Silver
The Burlington really got hit hard that year, with this flood and then the June 16th flood at the west end in Colorado. Matt, I am new to the group and your email brings back memories. As a junior
Boy I would love to read that letter. The question that has now piqued my curiosity is which grades were these and when and how were they improved. Anyone know the answers to this question? Again, I
