Book Synopsis Way of the Zephyrs by : Geoffrey H Doughty
Download or read book Way of the Zephyrs written by Geoffrey H Doughty and published by TLC Publishing. This book was released on 2005-07-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this companion volume to his Burlington Route - The Early Zephyrs, author Geoffrey H. Doughty traces the postwar Zephyr fleet from the birth of the modern dome car in 1945 through to the Burlington Northern merger of 1970. Along the way, readers are introduced to such streamlined passenger train icons as the 1949 California Zephyr and the 1956 Denver Zephyr, as well as lesser lights from the CB&Q's timetables. With the American traveling public increasingly opting for airliners and automobiles through the 1950s and the 1960s, Burlington Route management aggressively pursued railroad passengers even as much of their competitors sought service curtailments in the face of declining patronage and rising labor costs. All of these factors are woven into this fascinating story of The Way of the Zephyrs.
