Product Description
This authoritative, illustrated history of the Zephyr fleet examines the trains, their motive power and landmark streamlined designs, rolling stock (including the Vista-Dome, generally considered the first successful dome car), and services. Dozens of black-and-white archival images and period color photographs depict Zephyrs along routes throughout the Midwest, Rocky Mountains, Pacific Coast, and Texas, as well as Burlington uniforms, dinnerware, stations and terminals, and interior views of cars. In the process, the book provides a dramatic visual account of train travel's decline throughout the century. Also featured are period advertisements, and route maps, timetables, and menus.

Great Book on the 'Q'
Unlike prior review I feel that this book had some great photos. This book is a great addition to anyone's collection. My prior experence's with Karl Zimmerman's books are that they are all well done, with excellent photograph's. Would definetly recommend for any fan of Burlington passenger trains.
Rail Enthusiast
Well written. Covers the age of Zephyrs.very well. A little lean on pictures but one of the better Zephyr books produced.

This is a good book about the Zephyrs. If you are looking for history, get this one. If you want something more modern, look elsewhere
