This news may be of interest to some Twainians. The legendary stainless
steel streamlined train, the Mark Twain Zephyr, may roll again. It's
passed through several hands after its service on the Burlington Route
(1935-1958) ended. Each owner announced they would restore it and that
it would someday return to the tracks, but instead it sat in railway
yards, neglected, stripped and gutted of its interiors and original
engine. A new group has acquired it, and they sound like they may
succeed where others have failed. Here's the story, which includes a
further link to their own website which contains an excellent history of
the train, with seldom seen photos:
