One of the last three Rio Grande GP30's to be retired off the roster, DRGW 3006 was officially retired on December 23, 1998. By May of 1999, it was spotted in Burnham in storage.

Most of the cars on the California Zephyr were owned by either Western Pacific, CB&Q, or the Rio Grande. However, there was one car that was owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. That car was the Silver Rapids. It was a contribution by PRR for getting passengers directly through (without transfer) from New York City to points west on the Zephyr.

The Silver Solarium was once owned by the CB&Q and ran on the California Zephyr. After the end of the Zephyr, the car was used on Amtrak for some time before being sold to Cedar Rail Enterprises. The car can now be chartered as was the case here when it ran with three other cars through a Trains Unlimited Tour. The configuration of the car was the same as the Silver Sky, owned by the Rio Grande.
