The California Zephyr was a passenger train service that was scheduled to pass through the more spectacular scenery on its route during the daylight. One of its claims to fame was the large Vista Dome clear glass top that allowed its passengers to view the scenery all around them. The route began in Chicago Illinois and ended in Emeryville CA. The train made its first run on March 19 1949 and while the original train stopped in 1970 it has since been operated by Amtrak. At 2438 miles it is one of Amtrak's longest routes and is to this day one of the most scenic - with breathtaking views of the Upper Colorado River Valley in the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada.

1864WRCAM47423London 1864. 162pp. Folio. String-tied as issued. A bit tanned some small chips at the edges. Very good. The Thomas W. Streeter copy with his pencil notes on the titlepage. This House of Commons working paper is a continuation of their return dated July 10 1863 on the subject of constructing a telegraph line to British Columbia and the Pacific. The Hudson's Bay Company unsurprisingly was intimately involved in the machinations for the building of the line. They had made an agreement with the Canadian government to build the telegraph line from the Red River to the Pacific themselves but when they failed to do so a group of English bankers proposed to step in and do the job. The papers included herein provide much information on the qualities of the land between Lake Superior and British Columbia and the need for swift communication throughout and across the vast region. Also included is a memorial from the people of the Red River Settlement discussing their urgent need for the telegraph. <br> <br> The Streeter copy sold to Nebenzahl for $30 in 1969 and was still in his stock when the Reese Company bought the last of it in 2013; here it is.
