    How would you like your CZ served?

    With snow and fog?

    Or lots of greenery?

    Maybe snow and brilliant sunlight?

    Or maybe you like it on the rocks?

    The Cascade trains are Talgo sets there is an F59-ph on one end and a "cabbagge" on the other. the F59 is usually on the south end of the train. The Cascade trains are painted in a dark green cream and brown scheme.
    Before the "Cabbagge" was added there was just the F59 which was turned and coupled to the other end of the train at the end of the run. This left the fins sticking up on the end of the train. The trains got named "Bat Trains" on account of the fins.(R.D.West photos)
