Price in 1952: Unlisted
The Finest steam freight train in the entire American Flyer fleet. It's powered by a huge worm-drive 4-8-4 Union Pacific locomotive that railroaders agree is in a class by itself. It has plenty of bulk and heft for long freight hauls or thundering speed. And it not only puffs real smoke and gives off choo-choo sound effects, but it blows a built-in Air Chime Whistle. Train stops, starts, reverses and uncouples by remote control. Tender and all cars have new Knuckle Couplers. Rolling stock features Crane Car: boom raises and lowers, cab swings around, hook lifts and drops. A pile of fun!
