Passenger Trains > Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09Date: 10/30/09 12:44 Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09 Author: norm1153 Short video of the Special 3-car ex-Zephyr train from Oakland to Portola. Departed Oakland, CA at approx. 7:50 AM, via Niles Canyon, and Altamont Pass. At about 8:50 AM with a bright, sunny day at Hearst, I had to shoot going away to avoid the sun. Anyway, it's a pretty extraordinary train, and I hope you enjoy this little clip.
Perhaps others will post more video at other locations. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today! Date: 10/30/09 12:59 Re: Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09 Author: norm1153 Here is the only good still I got this morning.

Thanks for the video clip! Glad you got out there to see it this morning. Date: 10/30/09 13:56 Re: Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09 Author: SGillings How many CZ cars are still in existence, both operable and non-operable?

Is there any ex-CZ baggage cars around? Date: 10/30/09 15:21 Re: Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09 Author: wprrsteam I think there is one on the Algoma Central and one at the Gold Coast RR Museum in Miami.

That may appear to be a naive question for some, but I would really like to know.

The best place would probably be to keep an eye on these websites: http://www.calzephyrrailcar.com/ or: http://www.trainsunlimitedtours.com/ Date: 10/31/09 16:33 Re: Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09 Author: sfericsf Date: 10/31/09 21:37 Re: Zephyr Special To FRC At Hearst Friday 10/30/09 Author: jimatsolana Could this be the same Zephyr that I used to see every day passing by the back of a foundry in Plano, IL that I worked in during the summer of 1952?
