Description: We try to be Friendly to our international customers especially with our: UPS Standard to Canada,The Baltimore & Ohio railroad’s two premier passenger trains were the Capitol Limited between Washington D.C. and Chicago, and the National Limited between Jersey City (near Manhattan) and St. Louis. The National Limited made stops in Washington, and Cincinnati but avoided the Great Lakes and also major cities along its route. To see all our listings, visit: Ika's Train Store Pullman-Standard's Lightweight or Streamlined "BROOK Series" a 12-5 Duplex-Sleeper built exclusively for the Pennsylvania RR. There were only a very few of this particular type built and all for the PRR and all named 'something' Brook; there was a Major-Brook, a Maiden-Brook a Magic-Book Morrow-Brook Maple-Brook Marsh-Brook Mineral-Brook. None of the other railroads used this design. The Pennsylvania railroad was the largest in the US by revenue and traffic and called itself the standard railroad of the world. The Admiral was one of its second-tier trains in the New York to Chicago run, behind the exclusive Broadway Limited. The eastbound Admiral (train # 70) started on April 27, 1941, but the westbound (train # 71) waited until April 26, 1942. The Pennsylvania Railroad started this new train in 1941 because of the high demands of wartime traffic. The name Admiral was chosen as a counterpoint to the General, a similar second tier train that made the Chicago to New York run starting 3 years earlier. The Admiral left New York at 9 in the evening and arrived before lunch the next day, hence a need for mostly sleeper cars. Admiral’s sleeper cars were owned and operated by the Pullman Company until Pullmans’ divestiture in 1948 forced railroads to buy the cars and lease them back to Pullman, who continued to staff and operate them. After 1948, the large name the letterboard of the cars began to change from “Pullman” to “Pennsylvania”. Unlike the Broadway Limited, the Admiral carried coaches for most of its life. It made only a few stops until it was downgraded to a local in 1956. - Fred Klein The B&O owes its fame, in part, to its inclusion as one of the four featured railroads in the original version of the popular board game Monopoly; it is the only railroad on the board that did not directly serve Atlantic City, New Jersey the city whose street names were used in the game's original edition.
