Rio Grande cars on Cal Zephyr at Salt Lake -- Nov 86
Author: gcm

Rio Grande business car Kansas on the rear of the California Zephyr at the D&RG station in Salt Lake City.
The next car up in Rio Grande colors (not sure who owned this) is the Colorado (ex-NYC observation Fall Brook).
If anyone has better info on these cars feel free to correct it.
The tailsign read Smithsonian Travel Associates.

Business car "Kansas" is passed from DRGW ownership to Anchutz Corp/ (owner of DRGW and SP) and is now based in Los Angeles along with 2 other cars, lounge car "Utah" and "dome car "California".
