I hastily scribbled “Texas Zephyr northbound at Oxford Street” in my notebook. But at that early hour nearly half a century ago, I must still have been half asleep, because C&S expert Hol Wagner reminds me that by July 1967 C&S’s TZ, trains 1 and 8, had been discontinued and only nameless trains 2 and 7 remained on the timetable. So here, just a little after sunrise, is C&S number 2, mostly head-end cars behind a Fort Worth & Denver E8A, scurrying along Santa Fe Drive headed for a 7 a.m. arrival at Denver Union Station. Mail service was discontinued a month ago. In three more months the train will itself be history. And by 2015 this will become the site of an RTD light rail station.
