Burlington Zephyr and Pioneer Zephyr trains
« on: July 07, 2009, 03:53:11 PM »
Are they trains or something out of Flash Gordon? Art Deco trains from the E G Budd Manufacturing Co., who specialised in stainless steel.
Pioneer Zephyr

Burlington Zephyr

(edit) - they're one and the same - the Burlington was renamed the Pioneer after a record-breaking 1000mile dash.
And the burro Zeph was the mascot.
