This photo was taken at Kingsville, Texas on June 13, 1962 and shows the Missouri Pacific's Valley Eagle
arriving to pick myself and my grandfather up at the depot there, taking
us back to Houston. I recall the train had a diner (because we ate on it)
and one coach. It looks like it had two head-end cars, but not sure. According
to Missouri Pacific Diesel Power by Kevin EuDaly, the locomotive is
a PA-3, built as MoPac 8030 in August 1952, renumbered to 73, retired in
April 1965, sold to PNC. Anyone know what eventually happened to it? The
photo was scanned from my Kodak Brownie color print. My email: trains@trainweather.com (Ken Ziegenbein)
