L P General Learn something new every day. I guess I never knew the *Zephyr* had B units. If I had not seen the other picure you posted today of the Sivler Knight, I bet I would have just thought it to be a head end car. The only reason I took a harder look at the other picture, was I thought the train seemed long for one unit. 6/12/2014 11:08:48 AM
