Remarks & Notes

Christened on April 18, 1934, at the PRR's Broad Street Station, this Philadelphia born, Budd built, articulated streamliner achieved a remarkable speed of 112.5 mph in May of that same year (1934 folks...). The train entered regular revenue service on November 11, 1934, between Kansas City, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; and Lincoln, Nebraska. It operated this and other routes until its retirement in 1960, when it was donated to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry There, it sat outside on display until 1994 when the Museum built an indoor display next to the parking garage. The train is generally regarded as the first successful streamliner on American railroads.
