I know that TRRA Society put out issue 72 (sold out) on the Zephyr Rocket trains. I have one, but can't locate it at this moment. I believe that this had a picture of the Minneapolis and I'm confident that it was lettered
the same way.

Is there a photo of this car? I need to know if it was lettered Pullman or Burlington.
