 | | The Twin Cities Zephyr was one of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy's elite fleet of Zephyr streamliners, running between Chicago and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. |
 | | The first Twin Cities Zephyrs, trainsets 9901 and 9902, were placed in service in April 1935, shortly after the debut of the train that started it all, Zephyr 9900, dubbed the "Pioneer Zephyr." Within two months, both articulated trainsets were making one round trip per day, creating "Morning" and "Afternoon" Zephyrs. |
 | | This scene depicts the Morning Twin Cities Zephyr, bound for Chicago, blasting through a snow-covered grade-crossing on a riverfront access road along the Mississippi River, which these Zephyrs followed for 265 miles between Savanna, IL and St. Paul, MN. |
