From Facebook:
A Missouri Pacific Railroad 2-8-0 steam locomotive, No. 124, is pictured in Topeka, Kan., on 1940 with a lone combination passenger car. This train would have traveled north over a branch line from Lomax, Kan., which was a junction on the former MoPac Kansas City-Pueblo line. I have no other details on the train.

===========================
So…. if this photo is 1940, and Public Timetables indicate that passenger service ended in 1938, could this have been a mixed train?
