Union Pacific Cities

We will include models from Walthers as well as others in this UP Cities name train collection. From the introduction of the M-10000 in 1934, Union Pacific set a new standard for luxury with its Streamliner trains. As ridership grew in the late 30s, UP ordered new equipment to provide daily service. Although WWII brought an abrupt halt to the project, by 1946, UP and partners CNW, SP and Wabash had over 100 new cars on order to begin daily "City" runs on several routes. The City of Los Angeles, City of San Francisco, City of Portland, City of Denver, and Challenger all used very similar cars. It is easy to model them all by changing out the observation cars and a few other tweaks.
