CBQ Observation #572 - "Tom Sawyer"
Title:  CBQ Observation #572 - "Tom Sawyer"
Description:  The final car in the original Mark Twain Zephyr trainset was the round ended solarium parlor-lounge car. This observation/lounge car carries the name of the protagonist, "Tom Sawyer" - a fitting choice for the last car! The future plans have this car being upgraded to first class seating with traditional low back seats facing the center aisle.

CBQ Observation #572 - "Tom Sawyer"
Title:  CBQ Observation #572 - "Tom Sawyer"
Description:  Here is a rear view of the Tom Sawyer observation/lounge car as well as showing the long string of cars in the Mark Twain Zephyr trainset as they undergo renovation. The lead power unit, "Injun Joe" was just placed on top of its trucks on September 12, 2023. This was taken a couple of months before that momentous event. The trainset is rising from its ashes like a Phoenix and will ride the rails once again!
