    The locomotive appears to be Union Terminal Co. 0-6-0 No. 7. If so, it survives today at the Museum of the American Railroad in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. The building at right with large sign on top was the Texas School Book Depository, from which Lee Harvey Oswald would assassinate U.S. President John F. Kennedy five years later.

    Just love these amazing Zephyr trains. Wish one could still ride them. (BTW I noticed that the Wikipedia article on the Denver Zephyr caries the same photo with only the information 'promotional photo': en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Zephyr)
