Follow the metamorphosis of the steam locomotive as passenger trains evolve from the traditional heavyweight Limiteds of the '20s to the sleek streamliners of the '30s, '40s and early '50s. Included are NYC's 1938 20th Century Limited, PRR's Broadway Limited, The Milwaukee Road's Hiawathas, B&O's Cincinnatian, Southern Pacific's Daylights, and the Reading's Crusader. These trains are detailed from a motive-power perspective, as are home-grown locomotive streamlining efforts by Frisco, Louisville & Nashville, Southern, Chesapeake & Ohio, Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Burlington, and much more across the U.S. and Canada.
