The "Glory Machines" series of tapes has one of the Aeolus heading up a
train of standard heavyweights, eastbound on the racetrack, possibly
Naperville, IIRC. I would have to pull out the tapes and review them to see
which one. I think the same tape had the short-lived E5A and prewar full
baggage, diner, coaches, tavern lounge substitute train for one of the Twin
City Zephyrs.... with full truck skirting.
