Can't answer your question about the NCL or EB, but that fifth car sure looks like it is the Silver Dome or Silver Castle.

An interesting slide appeared today on eBay. It is the TCZ and looks like it may be combined with the NCL and/or EB due to its length. The power is three E7s elephant style.

The slide mount processing date is APR 1967. What struck me is not just the three elephant style Es but that in 1967 it is a solid E7 consist. Most of my TCZ photo references after the early 60's that had an E7 always had E8s or E9s in the TCZ consist. i've documented a couple of twin E7 consists on the TCZ such as

But the eBay slide is the first triple E7A consist post-1964. It now gives me an excuse to run two and three unit pure E7A lashups.

Can anyone with a sharper eye than me confirm if the train is combined with the EB and/or NCL?
