I will be soon adding a new album of steam engines. The Burlington Zephyr, the first American diesel-electric powered streamlined passenger train, made its noted "dawn-to-dusk" run from Denver, Colorado, to Chicago, Illinois, on May 26, 1934. On November 11, 1934, the train was put into regularly scheduled service between Lincoln, Nebraska, and Kansas City, Missouri. This was in the era of streamlined steam and diesel locomotives in the U.S.

This is an articulated passenger train that set the time record from SanFrancisco to Chicago, reaching speeds of 114mph [~190Km/hr]. This is the mail car. The Burlington Zephyr is preserved in the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, ILL, USA.

900HP articulated "distilate/Diesel" doodlebug that ran in the south central US from 1931 to 1968. She was designed to pull five "pullmantype" streamliners in passenger service, but during WWII, once pulled 15 heavyweight passenger and freight cars. This was the only one ever built in this style. Today she sits lonely in a yard awaiting restoration.

Grimsley and Hell-topay: Here is a first taste of the steamers that are to come. The "Big Boy" pictures is now restored and on static display on a mountainside in Omaha, NE., USA.
