Nebraska Zephyr

The ''Nebraska Zephyr'' was a streamlined passenger train operated by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q, commonly known by the shorter name of "Burlington") between Chicago, Illinois, Omaha, Nebraska and Lincoln, Nebraska. It operated from 1947 to 1971. Until 1968 the two original ''Twin Cities Zephyr'' articulated trainsets, the "Train of the Gods" and "Train of the Goddesses", operated the service and became synonymous with it. The ''Nebraska Zephyr'' was one of many trains discontinued when Amtrak began operations in 1971. The "Train of the Goddess" set is preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois.

The Burlington introduced the ''Nebraska Zephyr'' on the Chicago–Omaha–Lincoln route on November 16, 1947, replacing the ''Ak-Sar-Ben Zephyr''.〔 The ''Zephyr'' joined four other trains on the route: the ''Exposition Flyer'', ''Denver Zephyr'', ''Ak-Sar-Ben'', and ''Fast Mail''. On-board services included a parlor car, dining car, and cocktail lounge.〔 The trains operated on a daylight schedule between Chicago and Lincoln. Westbound #11 departed Chicago at 12:45 PM and arrived in Lincoln at 10:30 PM. Eastbound #12 departed Lincoln at 11:00 AM and arrived in Chicago at 8:45 PM. The trip took 9 hours 45 minutes, an average speed of .〔
Although the Burlington removed the distinctive "Zephyr" trainsets in February 1968, the train continued to operate as the ''Nebraska Zephyr'', albeit with reduced service. A June 1968 timetable advertised a "dinette coach" as the only amenity, and the running time had lengthened to 11 hours 30 minutes.〔 The ''Nebraska Zephyr'' lost its name prior to its discontinuance on April 30, 1971.〔
