    In 1948 was the first all Diesel train for the Texas Special.

    In 1949 the M-K-T purchased two PA-1 for the Texas Special.
    .
    I read below that the M-K-T had one E8 then. The Frisco had E7s.

    To keep up with the routes business both railroads were painting old heavy weights cars
    to look similar to the Texas Special streamline cars.
    Soon there were 20 car trains, about 6 more cars than before.

    Those heavy weight cars looked something like those shown here below V .
    .[​IMG]These are a Pack A Pack C [2 car set].
    There is only one set of these Pack A heavy weight cars left
    at www.lionelstore.com before they run out.
    Also there is one set left at
