When the original California Zephyr ceased operations
in March 1970, Amtrak endeavored to take
over its operations. The original CZ route, which included
the D&RGW-owned Moffat Tunnel Route, was
unavailable due to a contract dispute between Amtrak
and D&RGW. Thus, for the MTR leg, The Rio Grande
Zephyr commenced operation, using the D&RGW
cars from the California Zephyr.
The Rio Grande Zephyr ran from Denver to Salt Lake
City. The route was then extended to Ogden to accommodate
California bound passengers connecting
to the San Francisco Zephyr.
Equipment and staff were sourced from the original
California Zephyr and as it provided daytime service,
nighttime service cars were either converted or sold
off.
Our models represent the Rio Grande Zephyr as it
serviced the Denver and Grand Junction route until
she was discontinued on April 24, 1980.
