Railway Age "Eagle" Articles

[benjamintickell53]

From the time that the Eagle fleet was first planned, the industry trade publication Railway Age covered the new cars and the trains. I’ve listed below the dates of which I am aware. Notably absent is the Colorado Eagle, which was inaugurated in 1942 without fanfare because of the wartime conditions. Are there other articles in Railway Age or other trade publications that should be added to this reference list?

Bill,

Do you have a copy or a link you could send me from the 1941 edition on the Delta Eagle.

Thanks

I will post the Delta Eagle article here, in case others might also find it of interest.

Thanks for posting; interesting article. I’d not seen the DE tail signs before.
