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.

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 suns glints off the side of the Silver Lariat, adding to the silver shine of the vista dome car.

It has been a long time since "Union Station - Travel by Train" stood above the cars from the California Zephyr. On this day, a special charter through Trains Unlimited Tours allowed that to happen one more time over the Silver Rapids.

The sky in this image was not altered using a computer. I decided to use my polerizing filter (which I seldom use but should use more) to really bring out the blue in the sky. The contrast with the yellow leaves (and yellow AC's!) is great as this coal load is coming up on Carr Street.
