Synopsis

Handsomely done black and white pictorial showcasing the Denver & Rio Grande Southern's "Zephyr," the last of the fleet of Zephyrs that once roamed the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy system. The book takes the reader over the line, from the climb out of Denver to the Moffat Tunnel, through canyons and across the desert, up to Soldier Summit and down to Salt Lake City. Illustrated throughout with crisp black and white photos of both interiors and exteriors of the train in action. 120 pages.
