A couple of weeks ago, you kindly discussed a question about "foreign" sleepers on the CZ for Mike Roberts. He is now asking if black and grey NYC sleepers appeared on the CZ. Any offers? Rupert Gaml

No such thing as "Black and grey" - two tone grey, yes. And yes, they appeared at various times. Including as the trans-con sleeper. Bob Webber Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web,

For its regular transcon service with the CZ, New York Central leased one of the D&RGW CZ cars, unlike the Pennsylvania, which owned its own. This, according to Karl Zimmerman. sjl rgortowski@aol.com
