Dear Fellow Railfan,
If you’re looking for more merchandise celebrating New York Central, we’re offering a replica of the 20th Century Limited, and a stylish NYC cap right here on page 2. We also have a great collection of railroad t-shirts on page 20, and an assortment of patriotic items on page 52.
On the cover of this catalog, and also right here on page 2, is a metal sign depicting the beautiful New York Central Railroad Art Deco express passenger train, the 20th Century Limited. It ran between Grand Central Terminal in New York City and LaSalle Street Station in Chicago from 1902 to 1967, often in times much faster than any other railroad. In 1938, NYC commissioned industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss to design a streamlined Art Deco train set for the 20th Century Limited, with the result pictured here and on the cover.
