The Chicago & North Western Railway was created through the merger of a number of frontier railroads. The first railroad built west of Chicago, it pulled the first freight car filled with wheat into the city that would one day become the nation’s railroad capital. These two Center Flow® hoppers are always seen together in groups assigned to Commoditrain service all over North America - even today. Micro-Trains® Line has issued this two car set, developed in conjunction with the Chicago & North Western Historical Society, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the start of the C&NW Railway
