End of an Era Part II

Another view of the Rio Grande Zephyr. The night before the last westbound run we spent quite a bit of time in Denver Union Station taking photos. I like this shot because it shows the train and the station. It also shows the character of this classic streamliner. Stainless steel, curved lines, matched cars, and six dome cars for watching the scenery made this the epitome of the last stage of the golden era of passenger trains, right after WWII. When a person thought of a passenger train, this is what came to mind.
