Lincoln Zephyr Automobile with the Diesel-Powered "Burlington Zephyr" Streamlined Train, December 1935
01
Artifact Overview
This publicity photo posed a Lincoln Zephyr automobile beside the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad's Pioneer Zephyr. In 1934 the streamlined train made a widely publicized run from Denver to Chicago in just over 13 hours, maintaining an average speed of 77 miles per hour. It's no coincidence that Lincoln gave its streamlined car, introduced in 1935, a similar name.
