Workers icing the dining car of The Texas Special

Documentary photo showing workers tossing blocks of ice up to the roof of the dining car on the Texas Special passenger train in the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad's Sloan Yard in San Antonio, Texas. All the other cars of this streamliner have "steam jet" air conditioning. The car is named for the hero of San Antonio's historic Alamo, Sam Houston.
