The  General Pershing Zephyr
Entered service April 30, 1939
Service between Kansas City and St. Louis

The General Pershing Zephyr, shown here prior to entering revenue service in April 1939 on the Burlington's triple-track mainline near Lisle, Illinois, was the first streamlined Zephyr to be fully non-articulated. In keeping with the military theme, the locomotive, No. 9908, was named Silver Charger after General Pershing's horse, and the cars were named for military ranks, Silver Star, Eagle and Leaf.
