This 924-mile (1487 km) long route was the longest RDC service in the United States and replaced the Royal Gorge as a secondary supplement to the California Zephyr. The train began service on September 15, 1950, following the regulations of regulatory agencies and used modified Budd Rail Diesel Cars (RDCs) for cost and operational advantages. Despite its initial success, the train ultimately proved to be unprofitable and was discontinued by the Western Pacific on October 2, 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory Plated - Custom Lettered and Numbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindow Glazing installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamhongsa built\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns in both directions very well and quietly \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal box and foam included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in 1985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hallmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43852546801798,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2113\/4993\/files\/ho-brass-hallmark-rdc-2-original-western-pacific-zephyrette-plated-samhongsa-passenger-416.webp?v=1776397237","url":"https:\/\/www.brassbasement.com\/products\/ho-brass-hallmark-rdc-2-original-western-pacific-zephyrette-plated-samhongsa-1","provider":"Brass Basement","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
