Missouri Pacific E7A 26 with Train 11, The Colorado Eagle, waiting to depart St. Louis' Union Station on April 17, 1963

The Colorado Eagle was an American streamlined passenger train operated by the Missouri Pacific Railroad (MP) in the mid 20th century. It operated between St. Louis, Missouri and Denver, Colorado, using MP trackage from St. Louis to Pueblo, Colorado and traveling on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad from there to Denver.[1] The train began service on June 21, 1942 and operated until March 1964, when the name as well as on-board amenities were dropped as the MP reduced passenger service across its system.[1] On April 2, 1966, the MP canceled the remaining unnamed trains serving Denver, ending passenger service along the Colorado Eagle's route west of Kansas City.[1]
