The Texas Rocket
Entered service April 1938
Service between Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth
(counterpart to the Sam Houston Zephyr)

The trackage between Dallas/Ft. Worth and Houston was operated by the jointly owned Burlington-Rock Island Railroad, and streamlined passenger service reflected the trains of both parents. In 1938, the B-RI purchased Twin Zephyr 9902 from the Burlington and was run for the next seven years as the Texas Rocket.
