Image ID Number	H25136
Date	1965-1966
Decade	1960s
Description	Color image of the Texas Zephyr train north of Cherry Street in Fort Collins. From image owner Jim Burrill: "In the winter of 1965 or early 1966, the National Railway Historical Society sponsored a roundtrip excursion over the 'Colorado and Southern' (BNSF Front Range division now) between Denver and Ft. Collins. The equipment was from the recently discontinued Texas Zephyr which ran between Denver and Dallas, I believe. The beautiful train came up from Denver, turned on the wye and parked for a short time in front of the C&S freight depot (now the transit center) before going south again."
