@sfinds : It was probably the Denver Zephyr. I once rode on it! During the mid 1950's we lived in Illinois for 5 years, in Galesburg. One Saturday morning when I was around 7-8 years old my Dad asked if I wanted to ride downtown with him & off we went. Little did I know! LOL! The Denver Zephyr was in town, fresh from being totally renovated & on her maiden publicity tour. They were offering 1 hour excursion rides & my Dad had gotten us tickets. I had an absolute BALL! Even got to ride in the observation dome for a few minutes of it. It was my very first train ride & still remember it vividly.
