[RITSlist] Zephyr Rocket

[David Engle]

Can confirm that RITS published Digest 10 in 1992, with the article by Steve Suhs on the Zephyr Rocket, pages 4-12;  check with Jack Carson at the Savanna store to see if copies are presently available--815-273-4013.  DJE

  I rode the nameless successor to the Zephyr Rocket three times in its last year of operation.  My memory is hazy, but I recall the CB&Q unit being switched out at Burlington and replaced with a Rock Island E7.  Obviously the "Q" units sometimes ran through, but never when I rode it.

    Thanks for the great info guys.  I still have one question (for now :) that wasn't answered.

    Did the locomotives for this train run all the way to the ends?  In other words, would you see CB&Q locomotives North of Burlington, IA (all the way to Minneapolis) and CRI&P locomotives South of Burlington (all the way to St. Louis)?
