New Haven Railroad guest, the Burlington Zephyr 9900, on display with railfans and visitors seen at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, 1934
New Haven Railroad guest, the Brulington Zephyr 9900, or aka: Pioneer Zephyr, is on display with railfans and visitors seen at Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut, 1934. The was the first all stainless steel train in America, and it broke various speed records. The train used a 660 hp Winton 201-A diesel prime mover for power. This train set actually remained in revenue passenger service from 1934 until March, 1960. It appears that some of the looks of the New Haven Railroad's Comet train set may have come from the Zephyr's design. As you can see there was quite a turnout of visitors for viewing this train set at the station.
