About the Pioneer Zephyr
About the Pioneer Zephyr The Pioneer Zephyr is America’s first diesel-electric, streamlined, stainless-steel passenger train. It is located in the Museum’s Entry Hall and was renovated and conserved in 2020. History In an attempt to increase rail passenger traffic, the Burlington Zephyr was built for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company (CB&Q) in 1934 by the Budd Company of Philadelphia. The Burlington Zephyr offered high-speed transportation in an elegant, streamlined, stainless steel design. It was the first diesel-electric passenger train to enter regular service. The train was renamed the “Pioneer Zephyr” in 1936 because it was the first of several diesel-powered Zephyrs built for the CB&Q. On May 26,1934, the Pioneer Zephyr left Denver and arrived in Chicago 13 hours and five minutes later to reopen the A Century of Progress World’s Fair in 1934. That single nonstop trip of 1,015 miles at record-breaking average speed of 77.6 mph changed the course of railroading and land transportation. Never before had a train traveled more than 775 miles without stopping for fuel and water. The Pioneer Zephyr, nicknamed the “Silver Streak,” was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1960 and was displayed outside next to the 999 Empire State Express locomotive near the Columbia Basin. In 1997, the Museum hired Northern Rail Car of Milwaukee to restore the Pioneer Zephyr to it 1930s-era glory. The gleaming, refurbished train was then moved to a new, underground gallery at the Museum in 1998. The exhibit closed in October 2019, to make way for a completely new exhibition, opening in March 2021. -
Wingate Brochure
The DAVID WINGATE Collection of United States Stamps Auction Preview AUCTION GALLERIES, INC. The DAVID WINGATE Collection of United States Stamps any stamp collectors follow a common path in forming collections: M find an album, locate sources for stamps, and fill the spaces as much as opportunities or one’s budget will allow. In rare cases, a collector follows a trajectory that rises above the crowd. David Wingate was that rare and exceptional collector. Gifted with an eye for aesthetic quality in both art and philately, Mr. Wingate applied his talent and resources to the formation of a United States stamp collection that is extraordinary for its completeness, quality and depth. A gentleman of humble demeanor, Mr. Wingate was a quiet, yet forceful presence in stamp auctions during the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century. He started by filling spaces, but quickly evolved into a knowledgeable and passionate collector who created his own computer-designed pages to accommodate the varieties and multiples that appealed to his visual sense and appreciation of rarity. Mr. Wingate passed away in 2011 at the age of 90. The collection he formed will be offered by Siegel Auction Galleries in April 2018, and its importance cannot be overstated. Many of the greatest rarities and outstanding multiples in United States philately are found in the Wingate collection. The Inverted Jenny Position 86 shows traces of the carmine vertical centerline at left, has original gum (with slight glazed spot) and is beautifully centered—the Wingate stamp is ex Colonel Green, Amos Eno and Dr. -
