Date: 07/03/15 13:01 Re: A Denver Zephyr Shot Author: agentatascadero Yes, large consist. One must remember that 1965 was before ridership fell off a cliff.....Christmas/summer consists would be swollwn all around the country, but, especially "out west", the province of the long distance limiteds.....and the CB&Q's ridership held up longer/later than most other railroads. Love your posts Marty, the earlier the better, such as this nice 1965 view. AA
