Update Description |
| 12/29/00 |
Last update of the Century...and the changes are in the Artists area. Two
new images of Pierre Bourdelle's works
have been added (including a rare inside look at the Silver Plate). We've also
added, to the Artists page, a section on advertising artist Bruce
Bomberger, who painted many of the scenes used in the early advertising
for the CZ. Bomberger worked for Patterson and Hall, who's current owner,
Bruce Hettema, has been a source of great info. We're currently looking for
info on ad artists Komorski and Gerhardt Hurt, and if you can help, we'd love
to hear from you.

A bunch of updates:
- First, there's the Christmas card on the Home page, but you've already
seen that (it's also on the Brochures and Literature page).
- The big news with this update is Jon Clark's listing of the CZ and
DRGW cars that went to Mexico, and their corresponding names and numbers.
And unfortunately their fates. Thus, the Mexican
car page, accessible from Ghosts,
has been revised an updated. There is still some confusion surrounding the
S. Creek, so if anyone can shed some light, please let us know.
- Juan Viladroza also sent some additional photos of the interior of the Silver
Planet.
- The Silver Maple and Larch now are on the web at the St Louis NRHS site,
which is linked from the Ghosts page.
- Finally, thanks much to Merrill Thurman who sent me some of his
brochures and timetables to scan, adding some detail and depth to their
respective pages.

Thanks, Nick!! |

Many images from the Loli Bryant collection of Dining Car items are now up
on the Diner page. Because of its growing size,
the artifacts page has been split into two, the China and Silver, and the
Menus, Paper and Linen. |

The status of much of the remaining CZ equipment has now been updated
in Ghosts. More images have
also been added to the Diner artifacts
page. These include several new china images and a new silver image courtesy
of a number of great collectors who are willing to share their images.
Thanks to all of them. |

from Dan Nelson is on the Memories page. |

A new image "guide" has been added to the Silver
Hostel page to add perspective to the posted images. Also added, a
new page to the Ghosts page called Mexican
Sleepers. Images are presented on sleepers from Mexico believed to
be ex-CZ cars. If you can help identify any of the cars by their original
CZ names, please let us know! |
