Of particular interest is the Texas Zephyr at Wichita Falls. That is one of the best color shots I have ever seen of an E-5 on this train. I saw the Texas Zephyr in the early 1960's in Dallas. --Kelly

The PRR Pullmans are not normal for Duluth nor are the Q HW diner and dome coach in the background. It definitely is Duluth though. Gordon Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/24/18 20:39 by gbmott.

The train is a Chicago to Hibbing, MN fan trip by the Illini Railroad Club. It did have sleepers and I think that is why the PRR cars are on the train. It is Labor Day 1962. Rick Burn Date: 09/25/18 17:57 Re: BN, C&S, CB&Q and GN E-units and Trains -- Rick Burn Author: czephyr17 rhburn3 Wrote:
