A unique view of history

Two "modern" and unique locomotives now have Museum of Transportation at St. Louis to call home.  Above is the 1,000 hp Chicago Burlington & Quincy "Zephyr" with 1,000 hp made in 1939.  Below is the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific EMD 1955 Aerotrain with 1,2000 hp.  Both are a far cry from the 4,000 hp plus AC units so common today.  Photos taken 2002.
