    Description

    This portrait is restored from a 1934 advertisement for a public exhibition of the Zephyr. It is printed on gloss photo paper with Canon inks guaranteed for 100 years without fading
    The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, known as the Burlington Route, was a midwestern railroad connecting Chicago, St. Louis and other midwestern industrial towns from its numerous agriculture markets down to Texas seaports. It began with the Aurora Branch’s charter of 1848 to extensions into Burlington, Iowa and Quincy, Illinois to become the “CB&Q”. Also known as the “Q”, it was famous for its fleet of Zephyr streamliners, modern and sleek stainless steel clad trainsets connecting midwestern cities and towns. The CB&Q merged with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific to form the Burlington Northern Railroad (today’s BNSF).
    Text: reads "CB&Q The Zephyr Burlington’s Streamline Motor Train ; Public Exhibition Detroit"
    This 1934 poster is for the public exhibition of the famous Zephyr train sets that would soon dot the Midwest. A Zephyr is defined as a "Greek god of the Western winds."
