"On May 26, 1934, the Zephyr broke all long-distance, non-stop World's Records for railroad trains when it ran 1015 miles from Denver, Colo. to Chicago in 785 minutes to signalize the reopenging of A Century of Progress Exposition...Its average speed on the spectacular dawn-to-dusk flight was 77.6 miles an hour...its top speed 112.5 miles an hour."
