No, this was a long train made up of heavy weight cars. I thought maybe the American Royal (not Zephyr) or the day train from KC before the KCZ.

That might have been the Zephyr Rocket.  It was still crossing over to Illinois until the early fifties.

What other trains might it have been?

  Kalmbach put out a Burlington photo album in the late 40's or early 50's showing the Quincy yards with a Q passenger train behind E-5's coming off of the old bridge and showing the "bay" bridge. BTW, I know a man, who as a teenager, rode his pony across the bay bridge!
