Your post kindled fond memories of the E5 on the point of the of the Texas Zephyr coming through my very small home town at the time of Vernon Texas in the 1940's on the FW&D/C&S line between Ft Worth and Denver. People would come down to the station and sit on the hoods of their cars and watch the Texas Zephyr streak by. Maybe she even stopped now and then. Can't remember.

I put a penny on the track once. Couldn't afford a nickel as my allowance was 25 cents a week. 9 cents for a Saturday movie, 5 cents for milk duds and a whole dime to last the rest of the week! Big money.
