This exciting program will carry you back to the final years of the California Zephyr when America's passenger trains were terminally ill and bleeding red ink from huge operating losses. Through rare 16mm archival film footage and personal recollections of those who worked on the train, you'll experience the pride and excitement of the original California Zephyr before the streamlinier era ceased in 1971.
