Review of The California Zephyr in the 1950s and 1960s

Ride the famous California Zephyr in the 1950s and 1960s. This is a compilation of 5 different photographer's work. Most of these are home movies as families traveled on the CZ. Put together it is a record of travel on the train and a look at the train itself - with scenes from Chicago to California. See the CZ when it was one of the most famous passenger trains in the country and see the scenery and service that made it famous.

Gleaming steel coaches pulled by CB&Q, D&RGW and Western Pacific diesels. Get the view from vestibules and domes and see the train trackside as well.
