WESTERN PACIFIC Feather River Route

" Western Pacific Feather River Route "

Sparky and I always have had a great love for trains. We grew up with the old Western Pacific being close by. The California Zephyr was one of America's finest passenger trains. It ran from Oakland California to Salt Lake City Utah. The journey through California's Feather River Canyon was considered one of America's most scenic train rides. The Zephyr was the last great passenger train to operate regularly in the United States. This engine can be found in the California State Rail Road Museum in Sacramento.
