The shots of the Twins were on the publicity run from Aurora to Chicago.
I vote Galesburg for the segment of PZ on the D2D run passing a large,
two-story depot...
The Lincoln depot would have been on the wrong wide of the tracks for this
shot
Ottumwa's depot hadn't yet been rebuilt, still the Victorian style depot,
not the "Burlington Box" style
Galesburg is the only depot I know that has the large, elevated cross-track
canopy

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked the footage of the Twin Zephyrs
running parallel on the double trackage (I'm assuming) to St. Paul.
Quite a few of the CZ photos came from the "Portrait of a Silver
Lady", which is an excellent book.
I do agree, a shot or two of today's CZ would have helped tie the
past and present. Either was out of the scope of the show, or PBS
wants to keep their shows 'timeless'.
An extra treat for me was that the local affiliate showed 'The
Sinking of the Lusitannia' afterwards. Most time I spent in front of
the TV in weeks!
