The Zephyr 9902

The  Zephyr 9902
Entered service 1947
Service between Chicago and Ottumwa, Iowa, then Chicago and Hannibal, Missouri

Still resplendent, even in its declining years, Zephyr 9902 awaits departure from the Burlington, Iowa, depot on August 3, 1951, while running as Hannibal-Burlington-Chicago train 41-2. The little Zephyr operated uneventfully on this route from July 1947 until it was withdrawn from service in January 1954.
