Anyone have photos(preferably color,but black and white will do) of the Champion at Orlando station between 1950 and 1960? I rode it in 1955 and my Grandparents lived in Orlando. I know there is a silk postcard of that (my Grandmother had one and it disappeared). Color is the only way to see Big Purple!!

David, you will find 8 photos of the Orlando Station, and one with the Champion loading and un-loading passengers in the 50's. Go to the following web-site: http://fpc.dos.state.fl.us 1. Click on "Search the Photographic Collection". 2. Enter the key word: "Railroad Station-Florida-Orlando" in the search box (full text search) and click on "search". Only one is in color.
