The Silver Streak Rediscover the Saga of Streamlined Shining Steel To call the “Silver Streak Zephyr” famous before its time would be to do the all-corrugated, slick stainless steel a disservice. Named after a movie of the same name which featured the CB&Q’s distinctive corrugated equipment, the “Silver Streak Zephyr” and its specially built EMD E5A unit “Silver Bullet” was a short distance luxury train that operated between Lincoln, Nebraska and Kansas City with stops in Omaha and St. Joseph.

Like the train it pulled, the EMD E5A was a unique piece of equipment - specially built just for the CB&Q so that they could have a locomotive which matched their Budd built corrugated cars, the EMD E5A was wrapped in shining stainless steel and ribbed with corrugated fluting that gave the CB&Q’s an unmatched streamlined look.

The E5’s saw service on a number of the Burlington’s trains beyond the “Silver Streak Zepbyr”, seeing use on trains such as the Visit the Kato USA Youtube “Nebraska Zephyr” and even the famous page for videos, modeling “California Zephyr” (also available from tips, first looks, and more!
