Great and interesting photo!

The baggage (mail storage) car behind the locomotive is a post-war baggage car 
with full skirts, possibly "Silver Treasure" or similar built by Budd in 1948. 
The RPO is similar to pre-war cars Silver Mail and Silver Sheen.

Following the heavyweight baggage (mail storage) car are two pre-war chair 
coaches with a Diner-Parlor-Observation car bringing up the rear.

The equipment built for the "Silver Streak Zephyr", when introduced in 1940 
included: 

9909 "Silver Bullet" (reportedly re-assigned to Sam Houston Zephyr in 1944 for 
a period)

Baggage Car "Silver Light" (not pictured here)
Baggage-RPO "Silver Sheen"
52 seat Chair Coach "Silver Gleam"
52 seat Chair Coach "Silver Glow"
Diner Parlor Observation "Silver Spirit"
