Greg, The La Quinta downtown, if you ask for a room on the 3rd floor in the back you can look over the Burlington Yard. They also have a Denny's next door, food's not the best but it's close. Loren [
The WP in 1950 bought 2 ABA sets of F units.... the A's were FP7's with the B units being standard F7B's with steam generators. I've never seen a photo of a power consist on the CZ of the FP7-F7B-FP7
The only "CZ" car that would be exact of course with lettering changes made would be the 6-5 Pullmans. They are exact for the 1956 DZ's Silver Pelican and Silver Swan. The Baggage cars are prototype
The Mo Pac Budd built 10-6's arrived in two orders from Budd. 610-613 were built in 8-1949 and were in the River Series. 614 and 615 were built 9-1949 and were in the Eagle Series. The second order 6
Thanks Mike I wasn't sure about the early 1949 10-6's. I guess the question was could the CZ 10-6 Pullmans built by Budd work for the Mo Pac 10-6's, the answer is no. Loren Johnson [Non-text portions
One car that was mentioned here were the SSS rebuilds. Of course car sides of them aren't going to work with the Walthers 60 foot RPO or coach models as a core kit. But it would be really nice if NPK

I have a slide of E5's AB set with black nose stripes pulling the vista dome TCZ with a GN Moutain Observation as the lead car running backwards, round end toward the motors. Silver Salon and or Silv
9960,9961,9962 ABC, were F3's the "chicken wire" version. They were also the only F's on the Burlington that lacked dynamic brakes. When they were repainted and regeared for freight service they were
Now remember when using the first generation power for the CZ the consist had some minor changes. For example in 1949 the CZ carried the 16 section Pullman and 1 10-6 Pullman between the dome-dorm-bu
I had one of the Burlington publications from 1969, I think it was 1969, that showed a photo of Barbra Hale and her husband taking the NCL to the Twin Cities. She was staring in the film "Airport"...
Silver Meadow and the other 10-6 Pullmans built in 1952 are at least floor layout an exact copy of the earlier 10-6 Pullmans built for the CZ. THE exception is the lack of the extra isle windows on t
Yes the first run of the Q E8's was gone almost as soon as they hit the shops..... probably never had a chance to get on the shelf! A buddy of mine got two of them... they look great! Loren Johnson [
And remember all the postwar Pullmans (Sleeping Cars) including the Slumbercoaches, except the CZ Pullmans carried the word "Pullman" in the small letter boards on the car ends. Of course the CZ cars
The Burlington did own SD24's.... they were the last high hood EMD's the Q bought. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to:
The BRHS put out a slide set on the E Units.... I don't know if they still have some in stock or not. Loren Johnson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To vi

I am taking a guess here but when the RTA started there were different agencies. West Suburban Mass Transit was the agency BN operated under, WSMT owned the equipment and that equipment was leased ba
Yes unlike the freight "F" units the three 9900 sets carried the grabs matched to the E units. Why the freight F's didn't receive the roof grabs I've never known the reason. And 9960-63 ABC carried t
Also as the story goes.... one afternoon the North Coast Limited wound up heading into the sheep yards rather than west out the C&I line.... That must have been a nice view from a Dome Sleeper! ** Se
