I’m of the opinion these framed color prints were issued in the late 1930’s after the Depression to generate vacation traffic but haven’t seen any official Mopac documentation. There were several scenes showing Mexican markets, a modified Sunshine Special print with 6615, one of the Mopac building at 13th and Olive (saw it hanging in the Brownsville traffic office in the 1970’s and one of the Royal Gorge (which I have hanging in the family room) and the one you mention of the Alamo. These turn up quite Often at train shows, online auctions and antique malls. [attachment=1:2v6rcwuk]IMG_6442.JPG[/attachment:2v6rcwuk][attachment=0:2v6rcwuk]IMG_6443.JPG[/attachment:2v6rcwuk]
