On the California Zephyr in 1948
The California Zephyr ran from Chicago to Oakland and was introduced in 1948. The Budd Manufacturing Company made all of the cars. The California Zephyr ran over Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rails to Denver, then on Denver and Rio Grande Western track to Salt Lake City, then on the Western Pacific to Oakland. Passengers then continued by ferry to San Francisco. Six trainsets (plus some extra spare cars) ran the route to keep daily service. The trainset did not change over the route: new motive power from each railroad was simply switched on in Denver and Salt Lake City.
