"HO" Twin Headight Zephyr Diagrams - Con-Cor

The Burlington Route Historical Society is an Illinois non-profit corporation whose
membership consists of diverse group of historians, collectors, railfans, photographers,
modelersand railroad employeeswho havebanded together to share one common inter
est,the Chicago,Burlingtonand Quincy Railroad; its two affiliates, the Colorado &Southern
and the Fort Worth & Denver,and their predecessors.The fellowship created by this com
mon interest and the opportunity for networking with members and others are the soci
ety's greatest assets.
Our mission is to preserve and disseminate historical information about the collective
Burlington railroads for the benefit of our members and to others by:
• creating and promoting fellowship and education among
persons interested in the CB&Q
• locating,gathering, preserving,interpreting and distributing
information, documents, publications and other tangible items
relating to the CB&Q
Activities to promotethisfellowship are geared to servethe widevariety of interestof its
members on almost every facet of the CB&Q as it served "EverywhereWest."
Founded in October 1979,the BRHS has enjoyed a steady growth that now allows us
to produce two publications.The Zephyr is a newsletter featuring Society news, current
events, articles on modeling.and frequently data sheets on equipment, structures or oper
ation. Also included is a Question and Answer forum where members share information
you neverdreamed was available. TheBurlington Bulletin, named after one of the CB&Q's
own internalpublications, isa slick paper magazinewith feature articlesabout operations,
equipment and communities alongthe "Way ofthe Zephyrs." Each issueisdevoted solely
to the Burlington and containsno commercial advertising. In1989a Burlington Bulletin arti
cle was the recipientof the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society's "David P. Morgan
ArticleAward/This marked the firsttime the award was given to an article in a publication
other than one of the mainstream national magazines.The BRHS isjustifiablyproud of this
recognition.
Due to the all-volunteer nature of our society, our publication schedule is somewhat irreg
ular,even though we strive to get two issues of each publication distributed each year.
However, publications aren't the only benefits of membership in the BRHS! Each fall
the members of the BRHS meet in a city served by the Burlington.This 2-3 day meet nor
mallyincludes our annual business meeting, model contest and display,photography con
test, clinics, an evening dinner and program usuallyfollowed by slides and movies.Aoneday
spring meet, that includesa swap session,evening meal,and a program followed by
slides, is also scheduled.
By workingtogether, we can accomplishmuch more than through individual efforts.
Materials presented for publication, or for sharing with the membership in other ways,
come from private collections ;or through research at various repositories of Burlington
records.The BRHS depends heavily upon its members to providesupport for the group
through their willingness to contribute in any way possible.Those with experience in any
phase of publishing, drafting,have knowledge of the operation of the Burlington, or have
collections of photographsor information are encouragedto offer their assistance.Those
