Silver Pony is back on wheels!

The Illinois Railway Museum is reporting that after a three year effort, Silver Pony is off theflatcar, and once again on its own wheels! The IRM has been working diligently to make this happen since acquiring the car three years ago, and it's what we've been hoping for since the derailment over 8 years ago. Congratulations to the IRM on accomplishing this milestone! They still need donations to further the work toward the goal of a full restoration. You can learn more, follow their progress, and view photos at the IRM's Silver Pony blog.

**SPECIAL REQUEST**

*California Zephyr Zephyrette History Project*
Request for Information from former Zephyrette, Cathy Moran

Former Zephyrette (train hostess on the California Zephyr) - Cathy Moran:

"My experiences on the Zephyr were right before it was placed out of service. I have a dear friend Rodna Walls Taylor who was a Zephyrette when it all started back in the 50's. We are working collaboratively to create a history of the Zephyrettes; since we are living history! We are in need of help from all California Zephyr riders, Zephyrettes, photographers, and historians to help us out in this project. We are looking for:

• Pictures of Zephyrettes;
  
  
• Current home/email addresses of any former Zephyrettes
  
  
• Zephyrette stories you might know of;
  
  
• Any Zephyrette or Zephyr memorabilia that you would be willing to share in a document with credit.

You may contact me through a special contact page at the CaliforniaZephyr.org website."
