Jim,
In 1955 the shovelnose units were long gone from the DZ. They had been converted to "boosters" by this time and they were starting to scrap them. The DZ would most certainly be using the E-units, from around 1949 or so. You could see the shovelnose units on the Twin Cities Zephyrs in 1949-50. Converted shovelnose boosters were frequently used between two E units on the Empire Builder in 1951.

RE: 1955 Denver Zephyr
The Denver Zephyr was re-equipped in 1956. I
saw a supposed 1955 Denver Zephyr photo with a E unit in the lead. In 1955, did the front end of the Denver Zephyr
still have the “old” 1930s look, like the attached photo, or could a E unit be up front? thank you, Jim Gattis G4Trains@gmail.com
