Item description

Brochure of --Wings to the Iron Horse, The Zephyr, Burlington Pioneers Again-In Gleaming Stainless Steel, and Presents America’s First Diesel Streamline Train, presented by Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad. Pat. No. 1,955,117 Emerald -Oliver, Inc., Chicago. The Pioneer Zephyr is a diesel-powered trainset built by the Budd Company in 1934 for the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad (CB Q), commonly known as the Burlington Route. The trainset was the second internal combustion-powered streamliner built for mainline service in the United States (after the Union Pacific Railroad's M-10000), the first such train powered by a diesel engine, and the first to enter revenue service. The trainset consists of one power/storage car, one baggage/RPO/buffet/coach car, and one coach/observation car. The cars are made of stainless steel, permanently articulated together with Jacob’s bogies. The construction incorporated recent advances such as shot welding (a specialized type of spot welding) to join the stainless steel, and unibody construction and articulation to reduce weight. It was the first of nine similarly built trainsets made for Burlington and its technologies were pivotal in the subsequent dieselization of passenger rail service. Chicago Burlington Zephyr 1st Diesel Streamline Train Pamphlet Booklet Railroad. No date but looks 1930s in very good condition. This is a fold-out brochure for the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad, acquired at exhibits at the 1934 Chicago World's Fair
