I am trying to locate a train schedule for July of 1950 for what was known as the Denver Rocket. I own a 1950 Cadillac, and the original owner took the Rocket from Burlington, CO to Denver to pick up her new car from Rickenbaugh Cadillac in Denver. I have found a departure time of 5:23 AM out of Burlington, CO into Denver. I don't think it ran daily in 1950. Also, was this train out of Chicago, or Kansas City? I have the delivery date of July 24th, 1950 for the new car.
Thx
Jim
Correction--you should have posted on the Trains Magazine forum, or on the Passenger forum; someone would have leaped on your post and responded quickly.

That was the Rocky Mountain Rocket, which ran between Chicago and Colorado Springs and Denver (the train was split at Limon). It was a daily train.
If you had posted on the Trains forum, someone would have answered the same day you posted; very few people even look at this forum.
