Kozzie-- <br /> <br />RE: Cotton Belt Pax. No, they were RS-3's on a lot of their line haul trains. By that time, there wasn't much to their service. Usually 3-4 head end and a couple of coaches made it down to Dallas from St. Louis, after they had pulled out of Ft Worth and pulled the diner-loungesand sleepers off in the early 1950's. They had the fastest line to Memphis but one of the slowest to St. Louis because they went up the east side of the Mississippi River from Arkansas thru East St. Louis andthen back across. So not much business by that time. The only other pax units they had was a couple of Daylight PA's and the only FP7 ever painted Daylight (all modified with a silver roof).
