Diesel Power for the Broadway Limited
The scene - Chicago, Station. The year - 1950. The Pennsylvania Rail Road’s premier passenger train, the Broadway Limited, having just arrived from Harrisburg behind a pair of EMD E8 locomotives, is falling under the attention of two EMD NW2’s that quickly go to work rearranging the cars. The BM70M will be detached from the consist and sent down the rails to the main Chicago Post Office. Meanwhile, the Santa Fe 4-4-2 Transcontinental Sleeper “Regal Spa”, without its passengers ever disembarking, will be shunted off to Dearborn Station, the Chicago base of operations for the Santa Fe, where it will be attached to a waiting Super Chief train and continue its journey westward. This process would repeat each day as the train would make its long journey. |
