Chicago Burlington & Quincy 4-6-2 Pacific 2830 with bi-level cars on a commuter train at the Downers Grove coach yard in Illinois in the year 1952.
So just like the C&NW, CB&Q light pacifics pulled bi-level cars.

The H-3 Pacifics wore 3 chime whistles!
And wait...6 pipes?
Does that mean they put a 6 chime on this H-3c???
(404 is an H-3c built by Lima in 1920)

The new Lionel Chicago & Alton 4-4-2 Atlantic from Ericstrains in comparison to a C&A Pacific in its early years with the exact paint scheme.
Unfortunately, I could not find any of their 4-4-2s with that scheme.
It's a damn good paint scheme for an SP Atlantic!

Chicago & Northwestern E-2/E-2a 2908
One of the forgotten Alco Pacifics that pulled The Twin Cities 400 at over 100mph, and among the only steam locomotives on the Chicago & Northwestern that burned oil at one point.
It's most known for having dual air horns and the signature sky marslight

Should the Age of Steam Roundhouse temporarily disguise Canadian Pacific 1293 as the 1881 in Terror Train 1980?
This year does mark the 45th anniversary of the film's release in 1980. 1293 was the locomotive used in the filming in Vermont in 1979.

1. THAT IS THE MOST ACCURATE STATEMENT ABOUT O GAUGE!
2. I think 3 rail O Gauge turned out to be a good fit for me.
O Gauge is good on my end since I mainly focus on semi-scale, it's just finding certain stuff and finding a place in my house to build a decent sized layout:

This is a C-1-a with a silver smokebox like the Lionel 43 which became standard starting in 1945.
Despite the introduction of the red M-K-T herald and converting their steam locomotives to burn oil in the 1920s and 1930s, many of the C-1a and C-1-b class 0-8-0s could still be seen burning coal.

Lionel, there is no excuse to mess up a Missouri Kansas Texas locomotive of the same class (The C-1-a class 0-8-0s were numbered 39 to 58)

CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN E-S PACIFICS MENTIONED
During their final years of service in the 1950s, these engines could be seen pulling the new green and yellow gallery cars.
Locomotives such as 626 and 614 used them on fantrips.
