SOME HISTORY: Among the earliest of the 1930's streamliners, the Union Pacific
M-10000's sleek good looks attracted huge crowds - including an inspection by President Roosevelt - on its inaugural nationwide
tour when it premiered in 1934. The 204 ft. long, three-car train was so well recognized and so distinctive in appearance
that many passengers in the UP's territory referred to it simply as "The Streamliner," as though it were the final word on
the design. UP employees responded to the engine's personality by nicknaming it "Little Zip."
Little Zip represented the peak of aerodynamic design of its time; indeed
it still looks startlingly futuristic today. The M-10000 was made out of lightweight aluminum rather than the stainless
steel used by the Burlington Zephyr and other early streamliners, and its cars were 8 inches narrower and the roofs 3 inches
lower than conventional railroad cars, which helped to cut wind resistance. Its design and construction allowed it to
go 90 mph on straight track, with a maximum speed of 110 mph in the best conditions, launching UP into the race for the lightest,
fastest, and most efficient streamliners of the day.
