Produktbeschreibung
This book is the FIRST VOLUME (of a three-book series) about the history, restoration, and rebirth of the Mark Twain Zephyr. The Mark Twain Zephyr was a CB&Q train that operated from 1935 to 1958, primarily along the Mississippi River from Burlington, Iowa to Hannibal and Saint Louis, Missouri. After retirement from the CB&Q, the train passed through the hands of several private owners (1960-2020) who had big dreams, but did little in the way of restoration. In 2020, the Mark Twain Zephyr was purchased by the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad, who is restoring the train to full operating condition at their shops in Northwest Wisconsin. This book by Kandace & Robert Tabern, with John Kelly and Dave Lotz, follows the Mark Twain Zephyr's history year-by-year. Exclusive photos and interviews with the children of the original owners are presented. Covered in this FIRST VOLUME are the design of the Burlington's shovel nose Zephyrs, the design and building of the Mark Twain Zephyr, a pre-inaugural run done in the Northeast United States and the Midwest, plus the Mark Twain Zephyr's Christening on October 25, 1935. Consider purchasing the other two volumes for the full story of the Mark Twain Zephyr. You are purchasing the PREMIUM HARD COVER EDITION... featuring a color cover and premium color print throughout the book.
