The Silver Streak was a 1934 film loosely based on the record-setting "dawn-to-dusk" run of the Pioneer Zephyr on May 26, 1934. The original Zephyr trainset was used for the exterior shots in the film, while interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage in Hollywood. For the film, the "Burlington Route" nameplate on the train's nose was replaced with one that read "Silver Streak".
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In the story, the crew was racing to the Boulder Dam construction site with an iron lung, with only moments to spare.
