[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] That is a plausible reason, Mr. Palmland, with respect to the Meteor, and the same practice also applied to the Star, or at least until early '60's when its Obs was fitted with the unsightly diaphram and moved to a mid-train location. This change was made so that Sleepers could be moved to the rear, added/cut en route, and a Sleeper Lounge need no longer be assigned (downgrading even on the SAL). Otherwise, the SAL in their public timetables provided a detailed "line up' of their trains' consists. Your namesake train appeared in the December 19, 1958 timetable to have Sleepers rear. Regarding the Obs noted above, one such is on display at the Boca Raton railroad museum located in the FEC station. Fortunately, the diaphram has been carefully removed and to such extent that an auto body shop man would let loose with his "old chestnut' of "you'd never know it was there'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
