Here is a picture of The Pioneer Zephyr also known as the “Silver Streak.” The exhibit is interactive, you get to go inside and tour the
baggage, smoking , passenger and the observation compartments.
You can also view the engineer’s cab, supplemented by a computer interactive that allows you to “drive” the Pioneer Zephyr.

The exhibit also features newsreel footage that will take you back to May, 26 1934. I have yet to tour this exhibit, I left Chicago before it arrived, however and a train fanatic it looks like a lot of fun!
