In 1952 the Texas Eagle was at the peak of its game. The network of trains connected most of Texas's major cities with St. Louis and Memphis, and continuing service was available to Mexico City via the Aztec Eagle while through cars were available in the other direction to New York and Washington, DC. The train as shown here featured "Planetarium" dome coaches, which was Missouri Pacific's marketing term for what other railroads called the Vista-Dome.
