Famous steam engines from history surround The Great Train Story, where you can interact with a landscape simulating the cities of Chicago and Seattle. Above it all hangs a real Boeing 727. The Balcony features a working model of the 1903 Wright Flyer, built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of powered flight. The tour ends with a look at a famous "hybrid": the “Silver Streak”—the Burlington Zephyr Train.
