I thought some of you might be as interested or impressed as I was by this
example of " against all odds" ambition to bring back a classic passenger train. I thought the Flying Yankee effort was impressive but if they pull this off,
I’ll be first in line for my ticket. Is’nt there a similar effort to reconstitute the California Zephyr?

*Here is the maiden all in lawn.
Who boarded the train one early morn.
That runs on road of Anthracite.
And then she left the train that night.
She found to her surprised delight
Hard coal had kept her dress still bright.
*Says Phoebe Snow about to go
Upon a trip to Buffalo
My gown stays white from morn to night
Upon the road of Anthracite
*Says Phoebe Snow,
Now that I see
How spotlessly
Your kitchen’s kept
It seems to me
It gives one quite
An appetite
This cleanly Road of Anthracite.
