The first revision of this article, by {{user|Ngotwalt}}, includes a reference to the 1972 edition of Karl Zimmermann's book ''The Story of the California Zephyr''. He gives the publisher as Quadrant Press. My understanding is that the original 1972 edition is from either "Delford Press" or "Starrucca Valley Publications", both small publishers in Pennsylvania. I don't have it in front of me but I suspect the book was self-published at this point. WorldCat shows Quadrant Press editions from 1984 and 1996. It's not clear to me if this is a reprint or a revision. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 16:35, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
