Parlor-Observation car "Juno" on the Nebraska Zephyr, a daytime passenger train operated daily by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) between Chicago, Illinois and Lincoln, Nebraska. Beginning operation in 1947, the train was typical of streamlined trains of the postwar period in that its carbodies were built of stainless steel and featured an all-silver exterior, the trademark of the Budd Company, but it was also notable in that it continued the CB&Q's unusual tradition, which began in the 1930s, of articulated, unified trainsets, with all passenger cars in each consist sharing bogies (wheel-trucks) and permanently coupled together.

The Nebraska Zephyr operated once-daily in each direction, with Westbound #11 departing Chicago at 12:45 PM and arriving in Lincoln at 10:30 PM, while Eastbound #12 departed Lincoln at 11:00 AM and arrived in Chicago at 8:45 PM. The 551-mile (887 km) trip took 9 hours and 45 minutes, and its average speed was 56 miles per hour (90 km/h) including stops. Service utilized two trainsets which each operated one direction on day and the opposite direction the next. One trainset's cars bore the names of Roman female gods, and was nicknamed "the train of the goddesses" (Venus, Vesta, Minerva, Psyche, Ceres, Diana, and Juno), while the other trainset's cars were named for male Roman gods, and was nicknamed "the train of the gods" (Apollo, Mars, Neptune, Cupid, Vulcan, Mercury, and Jupiter). The trainsets were in fact built by the Budd Company back in 1936 as the second pair of Twin Zephyrs, for CB&Q service between Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, making them some of the first stainless-steel trainsets built by Budd, and as such they initially bore the same style of locomotive as the other CB&Q Zephyrs from the 1930s, of a smooth, semicircular front curving seamlessly into the roofline at its top, but these locomotives were later replaced with the stainless-steel-bodied, shovel-nosed diesel locomotives of the 1950s which all the CB&Q's Zephyr trains later received.

Each of the Nebraska Zephyr's two trainsets consisted of several coaches and parlor cars, a coach-dinette, dining car, cocktail lounge, and parlor-observation car. The parlor-observation car on "the train of the gods" was named Jupiter, while its goddess counterpart was named Juno. The locomotives were named Pegasus (CB&Q #9904) and Zephyrus (CB&Q #9905). The trains were generously appointed and provided comfortable travel throughout the 1940s and '50s, and the high level of service was maintained until 1963, when the cocktail lounges were removed in favor of additional seating. In 1966 the dining cars were rebuilt as "cafeteria cars" with vending machines for additional cost-cutting. The aging trainsets were retired from service entirely in 1968, although CB&Q continued to operate the Nebraska Zephyr train with other rolling stock until 1971, when the newly-birthed Amtrak took over all remaining passenger rail service in the US.

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 4-8-4 #5632 races along the mainline on a fan trip, sometime in the mid-1970s. Some eager railfans try to keep up with the train in their 1970 Nomad/Chevelle station wagon.

Burlington over Byron por Mike Danneman Por Flickr: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy EMD E5 No. 9911-A and the Nebraska Zephyr Budd-built streamliner trainset curves over the top of Byron Hill at Byron, Wisconsin, on September 30, 1993. This classy Zephyr from the Illinois Railway Museum collection made a somewhat uncommon off-site trip for an ARM convention running on the Wisconsin Central main line from Burlington to Neenah and return. Out on the high iron like this, the train almost looks like a Zephyr of old, racing west through a midwestern countryside.

Rockford, Illinois, Part One

This is a northbound movement on the Milwaukee Road in Rockford, Illinois. We first see the train at Buckbee Street where it will soon cross the Illinois Central. A person on FB, Conrad Baker, helped me find these locations.

The next two shots come from Cedar Street: the train has since crossed over the Rock River and is ducking under the Chicago & North Western. In the going away shot, it is entering what used to be a small yard. That lead unit was built for the Milwaukee in 1949.

One might not think of northern Illinois as being part of the Rust Belt, but looking at a USGS map of this era, one sees just how busy this place must have been back in the day. In addition the roads mentioned above, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy seems to have had a branch line here—marked BN here, which shares a bridge with the Milwaukee Road.

Three photographs by Richard Koenig; taken November 27th 1976.

CB&Q 302 SILVER HOURS

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 302, named SILVER HOURS, at Aurora, Illinois on February 13, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide as Train # 11, the Nebraska Zephyr. At the time of this photo, # 11 was mostly a mail train with passenger accommodations, typically the articulated trainset built for the Second Twin Cities Zephyr, later assigned to the Nebraska Zephyr. Due to the articulated nature of the trainset, if a single car needed maintenance, the entire set had to be pulled from service, and the railroad would substitute whatever they could find in the passenger pool not already assigned.

Number 302, the SILVER HOURS, was built by Budd on Job 96117, ordered in February 1940, delivered in June 1940, configured with a kitchen, 24 dining seat section ( six tables, four chairs each table ), and 22 seats in the parlor section.
