Post subject:  Zephyr Update?

I have lost the URL for the group that is restoring one of the Zephyr's to operation. I thought it was in a Brief but couldn't locate it.

It's been a while since I had checked on it and was curious how it was going. If someone can provide me the link again I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think this is the site you are looking for (below). I searched for it under the RyPN Links using Zephyr, and didn't find it. I knew the name was Flying Yankee, so I searched for that instead. Then, thinking the omission of the word Zephyr was an error, I searched for that word on the FY site. And, I didn't find it.

And, as it turns out, the Flying Yankee was a Budd streamliner like the CB&Q Zephyr trains, but technically not a Zephyr itself.

I always thought it was a Zephyr too until your post made me think about it more.
