It's the Minnetonka Zephyr!! I think that stopped running in 1988.

Dave Paradeau who ran the Minnetonka Zephyr had a dispute with Jerry Ross, the owner of Dakota Rail, and moved the train to Stillwater MN and re-pianted and re-named the train, the Minnesota Zephyr. He leased the tracks from the Minnesota Transportation Museum for a very low price and then bought the tracks after MTM left for Osceola WI. Jerry Ross repainted one of his engines and ran a dinner train on his own for a while.
