Mike:
Burlington Bulletin No. 50, about to be or already mailed to members of the BRHS, covers these trains (the 1936 Denver Zephyr) in great detail, and many of the photos were taken during the trainsets' service as the Texas Zephyr from 1957 to 1965. If you're not a BRHS member, the Bulletin will be available through the company store on the BRHS website.
These two trainsets never ran as the Sam Houston Zephyr and were not used on any routes except Chicago-Denver and Denver-Fort Worth-Dallas.

Subject: [CBQ] Denver Zephyr and Texas Zephyr
Can someone clarify the information provided in another discussion currently running in this group that deals with the older Denver Zephyr trainsets being used on the Texas Zephyr between 1957 and 1965. Specifically, are we talking about the 10-car Budd sets built in the mid-30s making the run from Dallas (Ft. Worth?) to Denver? Do any photos exist? Was it the entire trainset or was it ever run with fewer cars? Any reason to think it ever used on the Sam Houston Zephyr, or any other route in Texas?
I'd appreciate any clarification.
