Offering nightly service between St Louis and Chicago, the Midnight Special may have lacked the fame of the GM&O's Rebel and Abraham Lincoln trains, but its name was no less evocative of the adventure of rail travel. As a secondary train, heavyweight cars would have been very common in the consist, resplendent in a two-tone red paint scheme. A perfect match for your GM&O PA's or Pacific locomotives, this train is worth staying up late to watch.
