Zoooooming like a Zephyr
Author: MartyBernard

This Burlington Northern crew has 'em rolling good in the Chicago western suburbs.  Rolling on the Raceway. The Rio Grande run-through power adds to the fun. The Raceway is not just for Zephyrs.

Hoping for green boards all the way so they will be at Clyde within a half hour. They're at Lisle now.  Zoooooming like a Zephyr. (May 13, 1991)

I wonder how many Marlboro miles it took for that trainman to acquire that t shirt.

Lets all remember that it is NOT "The Raceway" nor "The Racetrack". In Burlington terminology it was and has always been "The East End"!

Things have formal names and beloved things also have nick names.  Neither is incorrect.  I have posted many photos of the East-End Way Freight but we all know the Zephyrs flew down the Racetrack.
