International Eucharistic Congress convened for the first time in the

from Italy in New York. Chicago Archbishop George Mundelein ensured
that he, Cardinal Hayes of New York and additional visiting dignitaries
and their entourages would travel in special comfort to Chicago. The
New York Central and Pullman collaborated on a special train for the
event which included seven heavyweight cars from Pullman’s fleet. All

locomotive features LEGACY and Bluetooth control along with all of the

sun.
