What Exactly is This |
| Description: |
Slide purchased years ago. Date unknown. This is probably either 9906A or 9907A. My guess the train is the SB Moring Zephyr because of all the domes. The slide is labeled "Twin Cities Zephyr" which it certainly is not. Note the second unit is is an E5B. |

A Faked Meet of The Twin Cities Zephyrs |
| Description: |
This is a publicity shot of a meet was made in the darkroom, i.e., it never happen as shown. The trains were built by EMC/Budd and delivered in Apri11935. The power cars were diesels and carried a model number AA and, at least initially, could not be disconnected from the train easily. The first A in the model number I assume stood for first series (the second series were Es) and the second A stood for A-unit as opposed to B-unit. Train 9901 became The Sam Houston Zephyr and was destroyed by fire on 12/19/44. Train 9902 became The Ozark State Zephyr and retired 2/54 and scrapped 4/56. Exact date and location of the picture(s) is unknown but certainly soon after the trains were put into service in 1935 and was taken along the Mississippi River bluffs in Illinois (my guess) or Wisconsin. |

Meet "Injun Joe" |
| Description: |
Injun Joe (the name of this shovel nose stainless power unit--you can just make it out on the unit's side) is Tom Sawyers villain. The train was the Mark Twain Zephyr. The massive St. Louis Union Station is picture center. That's a TRRA Baldwin above 9903 and maybe a MoPac unit to the left. Photo date unknown. |
