Reply to "CB&Q and Fort Worth & Denver passenger cars"

True story:

In the mid 1960’s young Dennis Braden left Lusk, WY to get an Agriculture degree from Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX. To make a little money while going to college he worked part time at my father’s cattle auction. He probably rode from WY to Denver on CB&Q #30 in a car just like this one. He related to me that getting to Amarillo from Denver on the TZ took less time than riding the all-stops local to get to Denver. :-)

Dennis eventually went on to be general manager of the historic Swensen Ranch headquartered in Stamford, TX. His son is now general manager of the King Ranch in south Texas.
yes…I know that I have already done this car with a 70’ Atlas model, but I have little self control in some respects. I think the paint is more accurate this time.
