The Denver Zephyrs
Entered service November 8, 1936
Service between Denver and Chicago

By 1956, the 20-year old equipment on the Denver Zephyr needed replacing, especially for what the Burlington considered to be its flagship train. This would be the last of the stainless-steel, streamliners purchased by the Burlington. This famous publicity photo, although fully representing equipment on the DZ, was actually a compilation of similar equipment from other Burlington trains.
