Steve -
Is there anyway in which you can identify the
owner(s) along with their contact information
on this Texas Zephyer equipment?
Further, where abouts in Hill City, SD are
the passenger cars stored? Further, is there
a connection to another working railroad?
Tks,
Pat Latz

Uderstand that there has been interest in acquir-
ing the cars, but that the asking price has been
astronomical.

I hope they restore the cars. They are all that
is left of the Denver Zephyr,Version 1.0.

Kelly,
See message # 22675 from June of 2005. I have

"I ended up in Hill City, SD today. I forgot my
camera so no pics, but I was able to get what I
think are the car numbers.
The cars are all lettered "Texas Zephyr" with a
small "Burlington" on each end. There is no other
ID on the sides of the cars. On the end above the
doors inside what is left of the diaphragms I
found these numbers.
* On the Observation the number 641 is stenciled.
* On what I believe is the coach, 606 is stencil-
ed.
* On what I believe is the Dorm Lounge, 323 is
stenciled.
To the best of my knowledge the cars are not mod-
ified for company service use. I was told that
one was in use as a dormitory for summer help
years ago.
The cars have been neglected for many years. The
previous owner had no idea of the treasures he
had in his possession, and the current owners
are concentrating on improving the railroad for
the tourist business."

Does anyone here know the name and numbers of the
3 Texas Zephyr cars that reside in Hill City, SD?
I know one is an observation, one is a diner and
the third is a baggage.
I wish to attempt to make models of these.
Thanks all
Kelly
