In 1934, with America fascinated by the new streamlined trains being paraded around the country by different railroad companies, the Chicago North Western Line jumped on the bandwagon.

These streamliners were regional, intended to bring people into Chicago from Minnesota, Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Wisconsin's North Woods, upper Michigan and southern Minnesota.
