Description
CNW® is a registered trademark of the Union Pacific Railroad.
This 83’ heavyweight modernized business car with balloon roof is yellow with a green roof and runs on 6-wheel passenger car trucks. Built in 1925 and named Monte Viso, then in 1926 it was purchased by Baltimore & Ohio and ran as “Capitol Road” until 1948, when it was acquired by Chicago & North Western, numbered “400,” and repainted into the yellow and green scheme. Today, C&NW is now part of Union Pacific, exclusively a freight railroad with over 32,000 miles of track, but prior to 1971, C&NW operated numerous passenger trains and services.
