50 Years of Progress in Burlington Locomotives

Side by side on the World's Fair grounds, these Burlington passenger engines illustrate a wonderful evolution in railroad motive power. The little 25 was the Pride of the Prairies in 1882, and rolled up an incredible mileage in its day. It is still in perfect running condition. The 3000 is the most powerful 4-6-4 wheeled type locomotive in the world. It heads the Burlington's crack five-car exhibition train at the Century of Progress Exposition in 1934.
