Colorado Zephyrs provides excursions and private charters on vintage luxury railroad cars. Also, we provide support and consultation to private rail car and excursion operators.
The Company owns Pullman sleeper
"Colorado Pine", ex L&N "Plantation Pine".
The Pine series sleepers
were built in 1953 to plan 4183.
The car is configured with 6 Open Sections,
4 Double Bedrooms and
6 Roomettes.
The car is equipped with a full service galley, shower and an AM/FM/XM
entertainment system with CD changer.
The car is based in Denver, Colorado.
The car will comfortably transport 12 persons in classic 1950's style luxury, with 8 persons in double bedrooms and 4 persons in single accomodation roomettes. The Open Sections double as the lounge and dining room for your journey with booth style seating for four in each section. The car is staffed with a crew of two, a chef and a steward, to make your journey as enjoyable and trouble free as possible.
When the car is run in combination with another car that provides dining and lounge services; then the car can be configured as a full sleeper. In this mode the car can sleep up to 24 persons.

So you think that you might wish to purchase a classic railroad car and become the modern version of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg or James West and Artimus Gordon? You might want to have a look at the story of the restoration of the "Colorado Pine". It's sometimes a whole lot of work. But, I thought that people who restore old Buicks were abnormal.
