Seen here in it's original display location outdoors in the museum's backyard, is the famous Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad # 9900. This streamlined passenger train was built in 1934, and was in service until 1960. It was donated to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry shortly after it's retirement.
