On October 23, 1936, one of the new
Denver Zephyrs set a new world's speed
record for a long-distance non-stop run
by dashing from Chicago to Denver in
12 hours, 12 minutes ... 1017 miles at
an average speed of 83.3 m.p.h. Top speed
on this spectacular run exceeded 116 miles per hour. It
slashed by 53 minutes the previous record run of the
original Zephyr, from Denver to Chicago in May, 1934.
