Burlington Zeypher

The Burlington Zephyr or Pioneer Zephyr entered service in 1934 and continued until 1960 running in the MIdwest. The Zephyr now resides at St. Louis’s Museum of Transportation.

Finally, a little snow in St. Louis. These benches look over Forest Park’s Grand Basin, the heart of the 1904 World’s Fair.

Door of Return

Sculpture by Kan Ya Suda “Door of Return.” This is located in City Garden in Downtown St. Louis. City garden is an interesting place to visit with lots of photo opportunities.
