Summary
[edit]DescriptionCalifornia Zephyr - Silver Horizon @ Maricopa Arizona (8105271272).jpg |
Photographed at Maricopa Arizona - Amtrak Station The Silver Horizon (CB&Q #375) was one of a number of California Zephyr cars that were sold to Amtrak, becoming Amtrak #9250. Later the car was sold to private owners and partially gutted in an unfortunate attempt to modify the car's interior. Subsequent owners found it cost-prohibitive to repair or restore these modifications to return the car to service, and it was eventually sold for static use as the station for Maricopa, Arizona. There were ultimately 7 of these unique cars: 4 owned by the Burlington, 2 by the Western Pacific, and 1 by the Rio Grande. Each car contained 3 double bedrooms, a drawing room with private shower, and dome and observation seating for 50 Pullman passengers. When the original Californa Zephyr completed its last run, on March 22, 1970, the silver fleet was dispersed to various owners and uses. One of the Silver Horizon's last rail moves was in November 1999, when the Texas Eagle carried the car west for restoration as a unique station. In its current use, the Silver Horizon continues one aspect of its former owner: capturing the imagination of the traveling public. Information from this site..
