The Zephyr Project is a program of the Feather River Rail Society.

The mission of the project is to preserve the history of the California Zephyr passenger train and its people through the protection, restoration and presentation of its artifacts, events and rolling stock.

March 20, 2008

Today is the 59th Anniversary of the inauguration of the California Zephyr!

Construction on the cars for the CZ train began in 1948.  The final train tied up in Oakland, California on March 22, 1970, 21 years and 2 days later. 

We have several events in the works to celebrate this coming anniversary in early 2009, as well as a new Zephyr car soon to arrive in Portola!  Your assistance can help us get the California Zephyr back on rails.  Some recent donations and a dedicated team are helping get WP locomotive 805-A mainline ready, but more support is needed.

Check back and see what's coming......
