First sorry for all the questions, I am trying to learn as much as possible about the WP. Living/Stationed in Hawaii does not help.

What was the Exposition Flyer, and where did it go? Saw this Dinning Car menu on eBay;

And it sparked the curiosity.

Thanks

Charger, the Exposition Flyer was W.P.'s top
passenger train, Salt Lake City - Oakland, between 1939 and 1949 when the Cal. Zephyr
was inaugurated.

Brad;
There's a book called "CZ The Story of the California Zephyr" by Karl Zimmerman that might be of help. It has a brief history of the Exposition Flyer, along with photos (including a steam powered Flyer on the Rio Grande with CZ cars!).
