  • About the Pioneer Zephyr

    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.

    A Brief History of Early Northeast Brainerd

    A Brief History of Early Northeast Brainerd by Ann M. Nelson June 18, 2016 Introduction For over a century Northeast Brainerd was the industrial center of the city of Brainerd; its industries provided work for thousands of people and drove the prosperity of the city. These industries were the economic engines that kept Brainerd alive, the salaries of their workers fueled the city’s business district and increased the fortunes of many of its citizens. The history of Northeast Brainerd could not be told without a description of the Northern Pacific Shops, Schwartz’s Brickyard, the Dam, Lumbermen’s Hospital, Brainerd & Northern Minnesota Railway Company, Brainerd Lumber Company, Minnesota & International Railway Company, Electric Streetcar Company and the Northwest Paper Company. Prominent, also, is the history of the Ravine Bridge and Fill, Lum Park and Evergreen Cemetery, the resting place of so many Northeast Brainerd pioneers. Northern Pacific Shops In August 1870 the Northern Pacific Railroad finally decided where the crossing of the Mississippi River was to be made; that location was at a point about seven miles north of Crow Wing in a space of wilderness populated mostly by Native Americans, jack pine, Norway and white pine. Immediately upon that announcement hundreds of people, mostly white men, descended upon the wilderness and began to build the town which eventually became known as Brainerd. In January of 1871 there were about 1,600 men working on constructing the railroad from the Junction (Carlton) to Brainerd and the tracks were about twenty-eight miles east of the city. On March 6 the Northern Pacific was completed from Carlton to Brainerd; on March 11 a special train carrying the officials of the railroad arrived in the city; by the end of March trains were running into Brainerd on a regular basis and in September the first regular passenger train arrived.
