On March 22, 1970, Western Pacific's California Zephyr stopped at Oroville, CA for the last time. While the engines were watered, both passengers (I was one) and onlookers got one last look at the famous train.
Burlington, Rio Grande and Western Pacific joined forces to run one of the most beautiful and innovative trains in the country, the California Zephyr. It ran from 1949-1970 but was widely recognized as one of the premiere trains in the West.
