CB&Q Pioneer Zephyr 9900 | Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad  Look closely, does the first passenger car seem to have a shroud for aerodynamics? Passenger cars are still articulate. Chicago Burlington & Quincy 9900 "Pioneer Zephyr" was built by Budd and powered by Electro-Motive in April 1934, #509.    Really, how long is this train. Note second power car!
