This is an AF 6-49616 S Scale Alton Limited Passenger Set. The Chicago & Alton Railroad was a pioneer in luxury passenger service. After the turn of the twentieth century, the railroad’s premier run between Chicago and St. Louis was named the Alton Limited, but was often referred to as the red train because of its trademark livery. In 1924, the C & A updated the Alton Limited: A fast, Pacific-type locomotive pulled a brand new set of Pullman heavyweight cars, all painted in matching shades of maroon and red. From its debut at Chicago’s (then under-construction) Union Station, the new Alton Limited was given the title Handsomest Train in the World. The American Flyer Alton Limited set features an all-new scale-sized Pacific type locomotive and matching all-new heavyweight passenger cars. Includes a Pacific locomotive and tender, combination car, two coaches, and an observation car.
