Two photos of MP passenger (motor) trains at Topeka, from the collection of Tony Fey. The first photo was taken by William Gipson Sr, train 642, in the winter of 1927-1928. The second photo was taken by Ray Hilner, also train 642, on May 13,1934. The short RPO-baggage car behind the gas-electric carried the Topeka & Fort Scott RPO.
