California Zephyr car open Saturday for tours
The Maricopa Historical Society will offer free tours Saturday of Maricopa’s Silver Horizon dome car, a passenger train car on Amtrak’s historical California Zephyr passenger train.
Tours will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Amtrak station on the corner of southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and the Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway....
The passenger car has been in Maricopa since 2000 and was used as the ticket office for Maricopa’s Amtrak station until a modern ticket office replaced it.
The Silver Horizon now is opened to the public twice a year and visitors will be able to tour both the lower coach area and the upper observation deck of the 85-feet-long, 16-foot-tall train car.
