Nostalgia & History > Fantrip Meets a ZephyrDate: 12/14/17 20:55 Fantrip Meets a Zephyr Author: MartyBernard Out on the double-track CB&Q mainline in north-central Illinois near Mendota, Illinois a Zephyr overtook the fantrip I was riding on March 21, 1965. The Zephyr was combined Trains 35 and 11, the Kansas City Zephyr and the Nebraska Zephyr, with an E7 up front and one of the two Nebraska Zephyr obs cars as the finishing touch. Both trains were westbound. The Zephyr had a station stop in Mendota at 12:22 p.m.
[EDIT] I just heard from an Illinois Railway Museum friend that this is their train, the "Train of the Goddesses". That's Juno! Enjoy, Marty Bernard Edited 2 time(s).
