Missouri Pacific publicity photo dated 10-1-42 of their new ACF 'Motorailer' Streamliner No. 670. B&W print in my collection, MP Photo.
Information on the MP's Motorailers from the "Screaming Eagles" web page: These railcars were initially used on the Lincoln to Union, Nebraska Branch as the "Eaglette". Beginning in 1942, the Eaglette ran the 47-mile connecting service at a relaxed 1 hour and 20 minute pace (operating as trains #605-606). At Union, across the platform connections were made to the Eagle (operating as train #5-105 westbound, #106-6 eastbound). trainweb.org/screamingeagle/eaglette.html
