CB&Q Silver Streak Zephyr Boxed Train Set |
 |
 |
To call the �Silver Streak Zephyr� famous before its time would be to do the all-corrugated, slick stainless steel train a disservice. Named after a movie of the same name which featured the CB&Q�s distinctive corrugated equipment, the �Silver Streak Zephyr� and its specially built EMD E5A unit �Silver Bullet� was a short distance luxury train that operated between Lincoln, Nebraska and Kansas City with stops in Omaha and St. Joseph.
Like the train it pulled, the EMD E5A was a unique piece of equipment - specially built just for the CB&Q so that they could have a locomotive which matched their Budd built corrugated cars, the EMD E5A was wrapped in shining stainless steel and ribbed with corrugated fluting that gave the CB&Q�s trains an unmatched streamlined look.
