GOT IT  Thanks to Bill's hint..TRAINS Dec 55...Page 51 upper right hand 
corner...This is a relatively small photo...Seems like there was an almost full 
page photo in another issue...probably earlier.

I'll keep an eye out, but this will get you started and maybe help out Visney's 
relative.

BTW During my time on the "Rock Island Dave Visney was an operating 
officer..TM..Supte etc..about my age or older..Now mid to late 70's.  Didn't 
know him real well, but this may be a relative..

Bob,

The photo of the Q engineer on the morning Zephyr was published by 
Trains Magazine in 1955, about mid year, I think. They devoted two 
issues to coverage of the Q from one end to the other.
