Pioneer Zephyr
This online exhibit is based on the new Pioneer Zephyr exhibit, "All Aboard the Silver Streak", at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. When the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad set out to revolutionize passenger rail service, they wanted a train the likes of which no one had ever seen before. The result - the first diesel-electric streamlined train in passenger service - sparked more than just speedy and lucrative travel. The shape and design of the Zephyr influenced everything from transportation to toasters.
