Exposition Flyer
The ''Exposition Flyer ''was a passenger train jointly operated by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Denver & Rio Grande Western, and Western Pacific railroads between Chicago and Oakland, California, for a decade between 1939 and 1949, before being replaced by the famed ''California Zephyr''.
== History ==
In 1939, the Golden Gate International Exposition opened on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. In response, the CB&Q, D&RGW and WP decided to operate a train that could take passengers to the event out in San Francisco. Service on the Exposition Flyer began on June 10, 1939. In the beginning, the train used steam locomotives as motive power and consisted of the heavyweight Pullman standard cars. In later years, however, the train would operate using diesel power and in the final months of service, used streamlined passenger cars. Initially, the train was supposed to be a temporary route, although, due to the train's popularity, which made it a significant rival to the ''City of San Francisco'', the Chicago-Oakland train operated jointly by the Chicago & Northwestern, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, it remained in operation until 1949. In 1949, the CB&Q, D&RGW and Western Pacific replaced the Exposition Flyer with the all streamlined California Zephyr, which operated over the same route.
