| Remarks & Notes |
| May 26th, 1934 - A shiny little train revolutionized rail transportation and set a 1,015-mile nonstop record from Denver to Chicago in 13 hours 5 minutes at an average speed of 77MPH.
75 years later, she's "enjoying" retirement locked up four stories underground with very little possibility of ever seeing the light of day again. |
