The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (reporting mark CBQ) was a Railroad that operated in the Mid-Western United States. Commonly referred to as The Burlington Route, The Burlington, or  The Q,[1][2] it operated extensive trackage in the States of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and also in New Mexico and Texas through subsidiaries Colorado and Southern Railway, Fort Worth and Denver Railway, and Burlington-Rock Island Railroad.

Its primary connections included Chicago, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Denver. Because of this extensive trackage in the Mid-West and Mountain States, the Railroad used the advertising slogans "Everywhere West", "Way of The Zephyrs", and "The Way West".
