Review by Harry K. Wong/photos by the author
At its peak, New York Central operated more than 28,000 miles of track serving eleven states and two Canadian provinces, as its famous “Water Level Route” main line connected New York with Chicago and the Midwest. In 1902, the railroad launched its all-new
20th Century Limited operating on a fast overnight schedule between Grand Central Terminal in New York City and LaSalle Street Station in Chicago. The new train captured the American public’s imagination with its luxurious accommodations and exclusive services that attracted a combination of business leaders and famous movie stars, further elevating the train’s celebrity status.
