Mike, you are correct ~ ie. Morning Zepyhr at East Dubuque. The photo to which
Dave refers is one of series of shots taken by John Vachon on the E. Dbq
platform in April 1940, one of which includes a Burlington Trailways bus in the
background. Many of Vachon's photographs are archived/available through the
Library of Congress.
