We're running a spread of Mitch Goldman's recent Nebraska Zephyr photos in the next issue of Railfan & Railroad. I can't find any info online about who repaired the train, other than that it returned from West Allis, WI in December 2008. If anyone knows the name of the firm that did the work, we'd appreciate knowing it. Also, roughly when the consist left the museum to be repaired, and when its first run occurred after its return. Thanks! Walt Lankenau Associate Editor Railfan & Railroad |

See http://www.irm.org/gallery/AvalonZephyrRepairs for photos of the work done on the Zephyr. Also, according to the photo at the bottom of that page that was taken on the trip from IRM to West Allis, the trainset went out for repairs on about January 18, 2008. |
