Advocates from Oregon, Idaho and Utah want to bring back the Pioneer, a train line discontinued in 1997 because of funding ...

Mike Sarna is the curator of the Pioneer Zephyr exhibit, which displays a restored streamliner train at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. He describes what makes these trains so special.

If the glory years of the Burlington Railroad began in 1934, with the Burlington Zephyr's phenomenal Dawn-to-Dusk run, surely they culminated in 1949, with the arrival of the California Zephyr.

The Pioneer was an Amtrak passenger train that operated from 1977 until 1997, when it was cut because of budget shortfalls.
