Hi Erik,
Thanks for sending the image! No doubt that is the 9903, and it is
brand-spanking new!
I guess more research needs to be done to see if it was indeed in Topeka...

Erik,
The link to the Trainorders post did not come through and I'm not a member of
Trainorders, so I cannot see it. In the research I've done on the Mark Twain
Zephyr, I have found nothing that would indicate it every visited Topeka, KS.
I've checked CB&Q correspondence for the exhibition tour of the 9900 from May
29th to June 12th, and Topeka is not on that agenda either. Is there anyway
that a low-res copy of the slide could be shared for location identification.
Here is a link to a history of the Mark Twain Zephyr on the BRHS web site:

Subject: [CBQ] Mark Twain Zephyr question
Hello,
A gentleman on the website Trainorders came across a slide of the Mark
Twain Zephyr visiting what he says is Topeka, KS early in it's career. He was
trying to get some more information on the visit (time, reason etc). I'm at
work so I don't have access to my Zephyr materials and everything I have found
online doesn't say anything about the MTZ doing a promotional tour in Topeka,
KS. Can any member help out with details on this visit
Here is a link to the Trainorders post, (not sure if you need to be a
member to read it)
Thanks
Erik
