Exact date identified:

Quote:
GN catenary maintenance car #X838, complete with adjustable-height platform and pantograph. The #X838 was built by StLCCo in 1929 as the all-baggage motorcar #2337, and the platform was installed at the Jackson Street Shops that same year, so obviously this car was ordered with the intention of using it for catenary maintenance on the Scenic Sub. Seen in Leavenworth, WA, in 1956.


There was another duplicate of this slide for sale, and the date was listed as June 9th, 1956.

These 4 slides were taken on the morning of Saturday, July 15th, 1967, on the eastern approach to GN's Minneapolis depot. I had previously listed that these slides were taken in June 1968. The #1074 is in the consist of train #8, the eastbound Winnipeg Limited, which is headed towards its final stop at St. Paul Union Depot (SPUD); it was scheduled to depart Minneapolis at 6:25 AM. The #38, #1205, and Big Horn Pass are all in the consist of the eastbound Empire Builder, which is also headed towards its next stop at SPUD on the way to Chicago; it was scheduled to depart Minneapolis at 6:35 AM.

I recently acquired Bill Glick's CB&Q passenger car roster book, which provided lots of additional info and corrections for a number of CB&Q, C&S, and FW&D heavyweight cars from 4 different sets of slides featured earlier in this thread.

While I'm not positive that they are sister cars, #1947 is very close to IRM's RPO-baggage CB&Q #1923, which is an 1914 product of AC&F. There are a few detail differences, including a blanked off third window on the #1947.
Don C. wrote:

Photo 88: 6117 and 6118 were built as an unusual (for the CB&Q at least) combination coach-chair car. Note the window spacing of the first seven windows in the body of the coach, then the wider window divider and then the closer spacing of the remaining windows.
#6117 and #6118 were Class PB-20A combination coach-chairs built by Pullman in 9/1922. In addition, both #6115 and #6116 were in Class PB-19A, and were built by AC&F in 11/1916 and 12/1916 respectively. #6116 is listed as a combination coach-chair, so #6115 could also have been one of these combo cars. #6117 was donated to the (National) Museum of Transport(ation) in 3/1970.

Ted - The photo of CB&Q #3655 is really interesting. The car appears to be on the end of a freight, probably in mixed train service. Leave it to the Burlington to make use of a former motor car! The 3655 is sure a great piece of passenger equipment.
Alexander D. Mitchell IV wrote:
If I can increase the mystery: I'm 99% certain the 3655, along with others in the 3650 series, is not an ex-doodlebug, but instead an ex-trailer car built and designed to run with the Burlington's bigger 9800-series gas-electric cars. I believe the far end in that photo sports a "push-pull" type cab.
Les Beckman wrote:
Managed to find a list on the CB&Q Historical Society website and, if I read it correctly, the 3655 was originally built by EMD/Pullman as doodlebug #627, later #9627 and then #9814. Converted in March of 1950 to number 3655.
#3655 was scrapped at Gibson on 7/14/1961.

Just a guess, but with mountains in the background and a broken window, this slide might be taken in Denver of the #5325 right before or after sale to Barter.

Another copy of this slide lists that it was taken in Denver in 1964; I'm thinking right before or after this diner was sold for scrap, likely to Barter. The dining room windows and kitchen door are missing.

There is a heavyweight coach that I was told was an ex-CB&Q commuter car that sits beside the former A&GW/Erie station in Kent, OH. It was placed there in 1977 by the local Jaycees and was/is used as a meeting room. It is currently called Marvin Kent for the man Kent was eventually named for (originally called Franklin Mills).

Photo #108: A second photo of CB&Q "Train of the Gods" Nebraska Zephyr auxiliary power-baggage-36 seat chair #961 Apollo (Budd, 1936). Like photo #86, this slide was taken after 1963, as the chairs indicate.

I'm pretty sure this is Galesburg, IL before the "Advance Track" and the house tracks were torn out. The roof line of the building in the background is distinctive. The platform edges also match what little remains of the original Galesburg platforms.

The car would be on Main #1 with the train facing west, if I am correct. Did the westbound Nebraska Zephyr run combined to Galesburg in the last years? Could this have been taken while a combined train was being split?
Rainier Rails wrote:
Thanks, Bulby, for identifying the location as Galesburg! I don't know anything regarding the Nebraska Zephyr being combined/split at Galesburg; however, one of the other slides of the NZ, photo #62, does show several (4 or 5) heavyweight mail & express cars ahead of the articulated trainset. Would it make any sense that these m & e cars were added/removed at Galesburg?
Bulby wrote:
Based on the Burlington Route Historical Society's page, at the time this was taken (somewhere between 1963-1968), the NZ was running combined with the Coloradoan between Chicago and Omaha; with the NZ articulated cars carrying the Coloradoan's passengers and the Coloradoan's head end cars between the NZ and the motive power. I'm fairly certain this IS Galesburg, with the train facing west, having stood in the exact spot the photographer would have stood to take that photo.

Perhaps more head end cars were being added and the crew chose to put them between the head end cars they had and the passengers? This would make sense if an RPO was in the consist out of Chicago. That would be my guess.

A few more additions to this thread:

Photo 108: The Kansas City Zephyr and the Nebraska Zephyr were combined between Chicago and Galesburg, IL, effective October 28, 1962. Until the articulated NZ was removed from service on January 21, 1968, the NZ passenger consist operated at the rear of the train with the KCZ cars ahead of them. The majority of the headend cars were destined for Council Bluffs, Omaha and Lincoln and they were added to the articulated NZ consist while the KCZ was setout as a block (one or two headend cars including a RPO, a parlor-diner-observation running backwards, a dome coach and generally one more coach, depending on the traffic requirements) for continuation to KC. With a switchman riding the stirrup, I would surmise that the depot switch engine is shoving the NZ articulated cars towards a joint with the headend cars. When the NZ equipment was retired, the consist was reversed with the diner-parlor-observation assigned to the KC train running on the rear so the parlor car patrons could enjoy the rearward view. This arrangement only lasted until April 10, 1968, when the KCZ was discontinued west of W. Quincy, MO, and became the "Quincy local".

I acquired another slide from this sequence. Taken in September 1964, exact date unknown.
