That would be Zephyr 9902 running eastbound as Hannibal-Burlington-Chicago train X-42, later changed to 41-2. The train had been sold to the Burlington-Rock Island on Nov. 1, 1938, and operated between Fort Worth and Houston
as the Sam Houston Zephyr. On June 15, 1939, chair car 100, newly built, was added to the consist and the train became the Texas Rocket, operating between Fort Worth and Houston until September 1945, when it was repurchased by the Q. From September 1945
until April 1947 it ran between Chicago and Ottumwa as trains X-1 and X-40, then from April to July 1947 between Galesburg and Chicago as X-1 and X-40. From July 1947 to January 1954 it ran between Chicago, Burlington and Hannibal as X-1 and X-42, with those
numbers changed to %-42 and 41-2 around 1950. In February 1954 the train was stored at West Burlington until scrapped there in April 1956.

Group - Here's a partially identified image of an unknown Zephyr roaring by Somonauk, IL, on August 26, 1948. Can anyone tell me what Zephyr this was. Doesn't look like the 9900. May be the Mark Twain Zephyr? The "crease" on
the Zephyr front appears to be on the original print and not the motor itself. Thanks and best regards - Louis
