What is the corrected item on the Pioneer Zephyr ? Thanks so much for posting your PZ photos.
This is a great thread !!!
Hey Bill, I should really not have said corrected, but rather replaced.
When the Zepher was returned from Wisconsin and lowered into the pit, the observation car tail sign was in place and reported to be the original.
Soon after, the tail sign was removed and the end was left with just plain stainless for many years.
Confirmed by the museum, the "original" tail sign was stolen while the train was in the display space it is in today.
So... what we now see is a replica sign. The sheet metal looked pretty good, not too perfect, but the lettering was just not correct from what I remember. Again, the museum confirmed that this is a replica sign.
I know this is really a esoteric detail, but to me, it was obvious, but I'm glad it was replaced.
