Description

This portrait is restored from a 1930's era print of the famous 400 steam locomotive. It is printed on matte cardstock photo paper with Canon inks guaranteed for 100 years without fading
CNW was also known as the “Northwestern” and operated 5,000 miles of track in the Upper Midwest at its peak. CNW connected the Union Pacific at Omaha to make the Chicago to West Coast connection. CNW had interests and ownership in a number of other mid-sized midwestern railroads including the Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis and Omaha (Omaha Road) and Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad. CNW also absorbed the Chicago Great Western Railroad, known as the Corn Belt Route. After a series of restructuring moves, it was acquired by the Union Pacific Railroad. CNW had a number of joint passenger trains to the West Coast including the City of Los Angeles, City of San Franciso, City of Denver, Challenger, and the Overland Limited.
The print text reads: "CNW “The 400 of the Chicago and North Western Line. The train between Chicago and St. Paul-Minneapolis that set the pace for the World”
The 400 was named for the nearly 400 miles between Chicago and the Twin Cities, which it traversed in 400 minutes."
