Mike,
The car was completed in November of 1948 and I would imagine it
started running soon after that. The California Zephyr itself didn't start
running until March 20th of 1949, so "Silver Rapids" ran on the Exposition
Flyer for a few months. The PRR dropped this car line in 1957, but "Silver
Rapids" was seen on PRR trains until the end of the PRR and after that on PC
trains as well. Being of stainless steel construction I would imagine it wound
up in Amtrak's hands.
