Chicago & Northwestern's passenger system from 1945 to 1995 included transcontinental services in conjunction with Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Canadian Pacific, as well as pioneering commuter railway concepts like the line operated in the Chicago-Green Bay corridor. This authoritative history of the innovative railway also features coverage of C&NW touchstones like the Chicago area's first profitable commuter line, the Chicago-Minneapolis "400" streamliner fleet ("400 Miles in 400 Minutes"), second-to-none passenger amenities, and the assumption of C&NW passenger services by Amtrak in 1970. Modelers and railfans will delight in complete passenger equipment rosters and photographic coverage depicting trains in action, passenger cars, and paint and lettering details.
