Despite intense rivalry between New York and Chicago, the New York Central found it challenging to match schedules and service to St. Louis against the Pennsylvania and even the B&O. The Southwestern Limited, the premier train on this lengthy route, had a varied composition. Multiple connecting cars were added or removed at nearly every major stop, constantly changing the train's length and makeup. An observation car at the end was rare and often hindered operations. Nevertheless, the train boasted modern motive power like new E7 diesels or large steam engines like J3 Hudsons or Niagaras, and offered diverse accommodations for both coach and Pullman passengers. The lack of a uniform train makes it fascinating to model, allowing for a mix of heavyweight, streamlined, and lightweight cars in various configurations and paint schemes. If you're traveling to St. Louis or anywhere in between, this is the train for you!
