I will have to search through my negative file.  I presume you would be interested even if not in the best condition.  If I find something I will respond on this thread, and then you can email me your address.   It is easier for me to mail prints at the present moment than to scan and post.

 

My personal email is daveklepper@yahoo and I can reply with my mailing address in Jerusalem.

Mr. Klepper:

Thank you for the great information. Just wonder if you may have made any photographes of the TEXAS ZEPHYR during those trips? I'd be very interested. For personal, not commercial use.

Thanks, David MacAnally (NEWSMAC)

My memory is that the uniforms were Burlington Route, Colorado and Southern, for the Texas Zephyr,  Denver and Rio Grande Western north of Pueblo for the train and engine crews of the Colorado Eagle, but other train personel Missouri Pacific, and alternating Sante Fe and Denver and Rio Grande Western crews on the jointly operated Scenic Limited or Royal George or whatever, and Chief connectionm Denver -Pueblo.   Those were the three trains each way operted when I was working on the Broadmore Hotel Internationl Center Project, about 1959-1960.

   Question about the Texas Zephyr circa 1960. What uniforms would the train's crew have worn while operating on the Joint Line between Denver and Pueblo Colorado? Burlington, Colorado and Southern, Rio Grande Santa Fe? Would it depend on whether the train was north or southbound?

Thanks,

Newsmac
