CB&Q E5 9914A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E5 9914A, named Silver Arrow, on Train # 39, the Exposition Flyer, at Princeton, Illinois on October 3, 1941, photograph by L. E. Griffith, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. The Exposition Flyer was inaugurated on June 11, 1939 in conjunction with the D&RGW and WP providing service between Chicago and Oakland ( San Francisco ) California, a precursor of the California Zephyr service. The train name was derived the Golden Gate International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1939 and 1940, and replaced the CB&Q's Aristocrat, the D&RGW's Panoramic, and the WP's Scenic Limited trains. The Exposition Flyer continued to operate on the CB&Q through World War II, often operating in multiple sections due to war time traffic.
