Milwaukee Road EP-3 "Quill" drive electric (Baldwin Westinghouse) circa 1918. Part of a series that includes several other paint schemes used by C,M,StP&P over the life of these venerable units.
	General Motors produced their idea of "The Train of Tomorrow", the Aerotrain in 1955 . Demonstrated on several roads including the Pennsylvania and New York Central it's only permanent service was on the CRI&P where it remained in commuter service for decades. Today the surviving examples are stored at the St Louis Museum of Transportation and the National Railroad Museum at Green Bay.
	Burlington placed the first diesel powered lightweight "streamliner" in daily service on November 11th, 1934. Named the "Pioneer Zephyr" the articulated train changed the shape of passenger service for all time. Number 9900 is the first in a planned series of CB&Q "shovelnose" trainsets.

	The Electo-Motive Division of General Motors was originally supposed to provide yet another "shovelnose" design for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy designated E-5. The units, however, were actually built as standard E-Units, but clad in polished stainless steel to match growing fleet of CB&Q "Zephyr" passenger trains.
