Title:
C&S 652
Description:
Colorado & Southern Railway 652, named SILVER ARROW, in Denver, Colorado on an unknown day in August 1969, Kodachrome by unknown photographer, Chuck Zeiler collection. Ordered in December 1935 (Budd Job 965, Plan 9512), delivered as CB&Q number 412 in October 1936, this car was a 12-Section sleeping car (based on the existing Pullman design, and in service, these cars were managed by Pullman), semi-articulated (they shared the center truck) to number 440 (later C&S 680), named SILVER SIDES, a 3 compartment, 1 drawing room, 6 double bedroom sleeper, seen in the background. These two cars made up part of the first Denver Zephyr (DZ). The DZ was re-equipped in 1957, and the two consists of the first DZ were transferred to the C&S (this car was renumbered CS 652), becoming the Texas Zephyr, and running in that service until February 1965. Sometime in the 1970's between 18 and 24 ex-Zephyr cars were shipped to Saudi Arabia, this car set is believed to be among those cars. Also of interest is the coupler, which made all electrical and pneumatic connections automatically. You can see the limitations of that design. Note that Budd carried the fluting through the doors, a design not repeated.
