Description
Utilizing a new unibody construction and articulation to reduce weight, the Pioneer Zephyr was placed in regular service in November of 1934. Following the Great Depression, American railroads had suffered a catostrophic loss in ridership. Owing to its faster/efficient service and reduced operating costs, the Zephyr is credited with helping to restore passenger rail service to profitability before its ultimate retirement in 1960.
