AMERICA'S STREAMLINERS

RIO GRANDE

(PRE WW II)

The Rio Grande's most famous streamliner, the California Zephyr, was not introduced until 1949. But prior to then, a pair of two car streamliners briefly provided service over the route.

Only streamlined trains and the most important stations are shown.
