In 1970 it merged with the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, and the Spokane, Portland, & Seattle railroads to form Burlington Northern (BN). After subsequent mergers/acquisitions, to include the Santa Fe, the original Burlington Route trackage is now operated primarily as the BNSF Railroad. Burlington's streamlined passenger trains were nicknamed "Zephyr", derived from the Greek god of the west wind. One such train was the "California Zephyr" which operated between Chicago, Illinois and Oakland, California. The train operated from 1949 to 1983 and was operated jointly with the Denver & Rio Grande Western and the Western Pacific railroads. For auction is a set of stationery from the "California Zephyr". It includes two sheets of writing paper and an envelope. They date from the 1960s. Each item has the Burlington logo and the name of the train.
