The Pioneer Zephyr is a diesel-powered railroad train formed of railroad cars permanently articulated together. Built in 1934 for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q), commonly known as the Burlington. The train featured extensive use of stainless steel, was originally named the Zephyr, and was meant as a promotional tool to advertise passenger rail service in the United States. The train is generally regarded as the first successful streamliner on American railroads.
