Pennsylvania Railroad 1960s The General
Rising through the ranks, in the 1960s The General quickly became one of the most popular members of Pennsylvania Railroad’s Blue Ribbon Fleet! Racing between Chicago and New York (with connections to Washington DC), this hard-working streamliner offered a lower-priced option to the flagship Broadway Limited and archrival New York Central’s 20th Century Limited. With its mix of head-end traffic, comfortable coaches and deluxe sleepers, this hard-working streamliner replica is the perfect addition to your operations or collection.
Passenger Cars
As the running mate of the Broadway Limited, The General offered similar levels of impeccable service on its overnight dash between New York and Chicago. Both trains shared luxury sleepers and the innovative full diner/kitchen-dormitory pairs. Unlike its famed counterpart, The General of the 1960s also handled lower-priced long-distance coaches, checked baggage, and a heavier volume of mail and express. Additional sleepers were added after late 1967 when the two trains were officially combined.
