The sign was a mixture of neon and incandescant bulbs that blinked off and on is rapid succession to give the impression the Zephyr was at speed. There was a similar sign a block or two away for the Rocky Mountain Rocket, with an E6 on the point. In this postcard view the streetcar tracks are gone but trolley buses are still in use, which dates the scene to between June 1950, when the last streetcars ran, and 1955, when the trolley buses were replaced with diesel buses.
