Zephyr coming home
The Zephyr locomotive cab departed Disney's California Adventure Park early Friday, Aug. 5. The
next day, the cab was unloaded by volunteer crews at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in
Portola. Photo courtesy Disneyland,
The Disneyland Resort has
donated the California Zephyr
train previously located in
Disney California Adventure
Park to Western Pacific Rail-
road Museum in Portola.
Plans for a gallery dedicated
to sharing the legacy of the
California Zephyr are under
way.
The train and related arti-
facts, which were part of the
entrance to the theme park,
arrived at their new home
Aug. 6. They will become
part of the museum's Zephyr
Project collection.
"Walt Disney's love of
trains made this donation
perfectly fitting," said Disney-
land Resort President George
A. Kalogridis. "The expan-
LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK
Art & Wine
OF LASSEN
sion of Disney California
Adventure Park provided the
opportunity for us to make
this meaningful donation and
we are thrilled the train will
offer museum visitors and
train enthusiasts an immer-
sive experience, much like it
did here."
Visitors to the museum
will learn about the history
of the famous 1950s passenger
train through the donated
artifacts, while the recreated
locomotive will offer the
chance to experience what it
was like for engineers to guide
the stainless steel Zephyr
trains through California's
Feather River Canyon.
The cab once operated as
a real locomotive.' It is an
authentic rendition of the
Western Pacific Railroad-
one of the three railroads
that operated the California
Zephyr between Chicago and
San Francisco from 1949 to
1970. It wears the same num-
ber as the last locomotive to
lead a westbound California
Zephyr into Oakland on
March 20, 1970. The Califor-
nia Zephyr is one of the most
celebrated "name trains" of
the 1950s and '60s.

About the Zephyr
The California,Zephyr was
introduced in 1949. It wasn't
the fastest train between
Chicago and California, but it
offered the best of western
scenery.
A 1950s advertising slogan
for the train promised "Beauty '
by Day, All the Way!"
The Portola Western
Pacific Railroad Museum
owns the largest collection of
California Zephyr equipment
and archival material in the
country. The Zephyr Project
collection includes a com-
plete and operational locomo-
tive and several passenger
cars, including a dome coach,
dome buffet dormitory and
the last intact dining car
from the train.
A rare opportunity to travel
the original route of the
California Zephyr will occur
Aug. 19 - 2I during the annual
Railroad Days festival.
