Hol,
Is this the same train that was photographed for the 1957 calendar?
Thanks,

The photo was taken in October 1956 and is the exhibition tour of the new Vista Dome Denver Zephyr.

Subject: [CBQ] EMD 9915B in front of Creston Depot
Nice photo of EMD E5A, 9915B in front of Creston depot. From the Kenny Petznick photo collection. Shared with permission. Questions I have are: 1) All photos I'm finding of 9915B show it with red stripes on the nose. Were the stripes orginally black? If so, when were they painted red? 2) Was this a rail fan excursion trip? Anyone know any other details of this tour? 3) We are trying come close on a date for the photo. We do know it's post Korean War because the copper awnings were removed from the Creston depot during the war for the metal. Anyone know the date of the excursion? Thanks and enjoy! Art Lischer
