{magazine - Alan Hegler* - see article at end of page}
Early in 1948, MP ordered three "Planetarium" domes from Budd as part of a $14 million upgrade of the "Eagle" fleet. Two of the cars (890-891) carried "Colorado Eagle" on the letterboards, and were used primarily on that train, although they saw some use (as early as 1948) on the "Texas Eagle" and possibly other trains. 892 was delivered with "The Eagle" on the letterboards. In 1952 the first 2 cars were relettered "The Eagle" to give MP more flexibility in train assignments. |
