The second video of a vintage C&NW streamliner was actually a one day excursion train that was operated by the 20th Century Railroad Club from Chicago to Janesville, Wisconsin and return. A steam engine was attached to the train just past Des Planes. The domes and single level cars were privately owned railcars and was operated as a first class section of the train. I was part of that Club and was working on the train.
