We Own and Operate Three Historic Passenger Cars

Our cars, Silver Lariat, Silver Rapids, and Silver Solarium, were built for the fabled California Zephyr, and were in continuous service from 1948 to 1981.  They were purchased from Amtrak in 1985, and upgraded to modern Amtrak standards.  Our cars are capable of traveling most anywhere in North America, primarily on Amtrak trains or special trains.
