Denver & Rio Grand and Western Pacific originally operated this service, but it appears to be mixed consists. However, Santa Fe (ATSF) did operate a rival service, the "San Francisco Chief". I think more likely you could get away with D&RW locomotives pulling the California Zephyr, or remove the California Zephyr cars and be fine also. Maybe this will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Zephyr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Chief -Brandon

For now I will just have to be happy having my F7's pulling this great train. Gordon

All you need is this one...two motorized and one dummy. This allows for exange with the WP ones that came in the Cal Zephyr set. (which I extended with 3 additional dome cars) Now I'll just have to custom paint a Burlington Route trio...and we will be able to simulate a complete Chicago-Denver- Salt Lake - Oakland run! jvuye attached the following image(s):
