Remarks:
|
The Twin Cities Zephyr ran the competitive route from Chicago to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The first (1935) and second (1936) Twin Zephyrs were articulated trainsets of permanently coupled cars. They were replaced in 1947 with a domed train that offered the flexibility of coupling individual cars as needed.
