We are pleased to announce our participation with the famed Southern Pacific 4449 Daylight steam locomotive as they participate in Train Festival 2009 in Owosso, MI.

We are adding our "Silver Fleet" --three private ex-California Zephyr cars --sleeper "Silver Rapids", dome-diner "Silver Lariat" and dome-sleeper-lounge-observation "Silver Solarium" along with the former PRR sleeper-lounge "Colonial Crafts" to the SP 4449 steam excursion train traveling from Portland to Minneapolis, MN July 3-10 and returning October 13-20 from Minneapolis to Portland via Stampede Pass.

You will be among a select group to have access to TWO domes and all the lounge space of the four cars. As you probably know, the Silver Lariat and Silver Solarium are two of the most popular and busy private cars in Amtrak service. Now is your chance to again enjoy these two cars running together with the Silver Rapids and Colonial Crafts. (This special train is limited to 12 cars and we will have 4 of them reserved exclusively for your use and enjoyment!)

We will have both Pullman service with overnight accommodations aboard the train and day space available. Experience our first class food and beverage service and enjoy this rare cross-country trip behind steam with the Daylight former SP 4449 of Freedom Train fame.

Additionally, space aboard the moves to/from Portland and Minneapolis is also available. Please see the attached document for more information on these dates, reservations and pricing.

For additional information and reservations please visit www.calzephyrrailcar.com (it will be updated soon!) and/or contact us at: info@calzephyrailcar.com. We look forward to seeing you onboard with us!
