I'm curious, could a full Cal Zephyr consist be assembled today?  Interior modifications would be OK but full skirts would be required.  I'm thinking the baggage car might be the most difficult.

The Gold Coast Railroad Museum has the Western Pacific CZ baggage car Silver Stag.

If you could post photos of the event on Trainorders, that would be very nice!

I wish there had been more notice spread around than 2 weeks in advance.  Now I can't make it.
