 | At left: Pressed into service to travel all the way to St. Louis, the train that departed Laredo at 9:05 AM is waiting at Taylor, Texas. It looks like it has a baggage car and two coaches in the consist. The time must be about 4:30 PM. |
| At right: I don't remember what the lone engine is doing. The northbound train has a baggage car. So I presume that the southbound has one on the rear. |  |
 | At left: The northbound No. 2 departs Taylor. The coach on the right, No. 410, was once the 14-4 sleeper Eagle Creek, originally built by Pullman-Standard in 1948. Rebuilt as a coach in 1966; it was retired in 1971. On the left is what might be T&P coach 451. Built by ACF in 1948 and retired in 1970. |
| At right; The Missouri Pacific station in Austin, Texas. Photo taken in October , 1967. It was well after dark when the Eagle of 2/1/70 arrived. |  |
 | At left; This is where passengers detrained and boarded Missouri Pacific trains in San Antonio. The scheduled arrival time for train No. 1 was 12:40 PM. This made for a quick turn-around for the Eagle and its 2:15 PM return departure. The Amtrak Texas Eagle passes by the station building as it makes its way to the Amtrak staion. |
