| Description: |
Rock Island E8 653 at Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to the June 1965 edition of The Official Guide, this was the Denver section of the Rocky Mountain Rocket backing into Union Station in preparation for its 11:30 AM ( Mountain Standard Time ) departure. This was the only First Class Rock Island train scheduled to reach Denver. Also departing at 11:30 AM was the Colorado Springs section of the same train, and both will become one train at Limon, Colorado, Train # 8, the eastbound Rocky Mountain Rocket, arriving in Chicago the next morning at 8:45 AM CST. The sleeper, diner, and club-lounge cars as well as about half of the chair cars went to Denver, with only chair cars going to Colorado Springs. |

CRI&P E8 655 |
| Description: |
CRI&P E8 655, Saint Paul, Minnesota, February 5, 1966, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built during March 1952 (c/n 15202) on EMD Order 2047A. It is seen here at Saint Paul Union Depot, having cut off its train, the three baggage cars have been removed. I have a shot of this train arriving, and have labeled the slide "Zephyr - Rocket". That being the case, this locomotive brought in the daily Train #15-201-20 from Saint Louis, Missouri. This was a train jointly operated by the Rock Island and the CB&Q between Minneapolis and Saint Louis, with both railroads supplying power and rolling stock. The first run was on January 7, 1941, and it was discontinued on April 8, 1967. The Zephyr - Rocket ran on Rock Island rails between the Twin Cities and Burlington, Iowa (365.6 miles) and on CB&Q rails between Burlington and Saint Louis (221 miles). |

CRI&P E8 655, Saint Paul, Minnesota, February 5, 1966, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This is Train 15-201-20, the Zephyr - Rocket, arriving at Saint Paul Union Depot. The switch tender will line the train for a reverse movement into the stub end depot. This train departed daily from Saint Louis, Missouri, at 5:45 PM CST for an overnight run to the Twin Cities as Train 15 on the CB&Q. Upon arrival at Burlington, Iowa at 11:20 PM, it was turned over to the Rock Island, becoming Train 201. I'm not certain where it became Train 20. According to the June 1965 issue of The Official Guide, it spent about 10 minutes at Manly, Iowa, but that might have been for a crew change. It arrived at Saint Paul at 7:55 AM, if it was on time. |

The date was unclear on the mount, but it was June, 6x. I'm guessing '67 for the date, but that's up for debate. |
