Chicago & North Western "400"

Kato N

The Chicago & North Western 400 Series Trains were named for the concept of a “400 mile trip in 400 minutes”, with one of the most well-known examples being the Twin Cities 400 between Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Pullman Bi-Level Passenger Cars started their operation on the “Flambeau 400” and the “Peninsula 400” in 1958. In addition to the Bi-Level coaches, these two ‘400’ trains also included a special Bi-Level Parlor Car and a Coach-Buffet Car to distinguish the service level from regular C&NW commuter trains and meet the rider´s needs on the longer distance trips.
