Broadway Limited Imports is
excited to bring the Wabash Blue Bird train to HO! In early 1950,
Wabash ceased using their heavyweight trains in favor of the new
streamlined Budd cars. This sleek new beauty was named the Blue Bird,
Chicago to St. Louis. Blue Bird train #24 would accomplish its 165 mile
journey from Decatur to Englewood in roughly 163 minutes, traveling at
around 61 mph. Train #21 would provide the return trip. Passengers were
treated to radio and recorded musical programs throughout the train.
This striking regional streamliner became one of Wabashs most
successful trains due to dome service and its elegantly outfitted
interiorssuccessful enough for Norfolk & Western to retain the
train until the advent of Amtrak in 1971.
