| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad observation car, date and location unknown, Hedrich-Blessing photograph, Chuck Zeiler collectio. The back of the print was stamped: If this Photograph is used for reproduction, kindly use the following credit line; HEDRICH-BLESSING STUDIO. it was also stamped: Neg. No. 6114-C. Although I could not narrow the car down, the photo does match an interior shot used in the book, The Passenger Car Library, Volume 1 - CB&Q, by W. David Randall on page 49 showing the interior of tho observation end of one of the two cars for the 1936 Denver Zephyr. The two cars were 230 named SILVER FLASH, and 231 named SILVER STREAK, both built by Budd on Job 965, ordered in December 1935, delivered in October 1936. |
