The Twin Star Rocket and the Texas Rocket came in from the north
(Enid, Kansas City) on the RI. The Texas Zephyr (post war) (Amarillo,
Denver) came in on the FWD. I'd be interested to know how the track
layout favored this usage. (Did the TZ and the SHZ use the RI through
Irving rather than the T&P through Arlington?)

That's from well before I joined the BRHS, and I'd be interested
in anything you find.
