- IPDB The progressive hole values of 1000-2000-3000 referenced above are from the text of an April 1934 Bally advertisement. Interestingly, the game pictured here has hole values of 1000-3000-4000 which would make the maximum possible score from this feature be 16,000 points. The Union Pacific Railroad debuted their M-10000 train in February 1934 while Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad debuted their Zephyr train in April, two months later. They were the first so-called "streamliner" passenger trains. The four miniature trains on the playfield of this game resemble the M-10000 streamliner. For a picture of a backglass showing the M-10000, see Bally's 1938 'Zephyr'. used

- IPDB 10 balls for 5 cents. Snap traps (4). NRA sticker. Has two rows of three progressive scoring holes, scoring 1000, then 2000, then 3000 points. Four Free Ride snap traps. The strategy is to first land in the 1000-point hole, then shoot the next ball into a Free Ride snap trap, which transfers the first ball from the 1000-point hole to the 2000-point hole. The snap trap closes for the remainder of play, and returns its ball to the player. The next time a ball lands in a Free Ride snap trap, it will transfer the ball from the 2000-point hole to the 3000-point hole, and simultaneously will transfer any ball in the 1000-point hole to the newly-vacated 2000-point hole. Because there are two rows of these progressive scoring holes and four Free Ride snap traps, it is possible to score 12,000 points from this feature with as few as 6 balls. Game advertised as 42 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 42 inches high. used
