[CBQ] Re: Special Day in Q History

["William Barber clipperw@gmail.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

I trust that everyone realizes that today is a special day in CB&Q history. 
Eighty years ago, on May 26, 1934, the three car Burlington Zephyr (later, the 
Pioneer Zephyr) made it's historic dawn to dusk run from Denver, Co to the 
Chicago's Century of Progress exhibition, covering the 1015 miles in just over 
13 hours at an average speed of 77.6 mph. That day, 80 years ago, changed 
railroad passenger service in America and certainly changed passenger service 
on the Chicago Burlington and Quincy from that point on. Happy Anniversary, 
Pioneer Zephyr.
