Caption: "Union Pacific Streamline Train. Chicago Fair. Sept. 22, 1934." View of the engine on the Union Pacific's new M-10000, on exhibit at Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition. The M-10000 was the first lightweight express passenger train powered by an internal combustion engine in the U.S. The train went on an exhibition tour of the US in 1934, which included a stop at the Exposition. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms."
