The New York Central Railroad's 20th Century Limited was once one of the most famous trains in the US and the world. In 1938, it received a new streamlined look with the railroad's famous J3a Hudson locomotives, also sporting the new art-deco streamlining, leading the grey, blue, and white consist. It's been said freight and other slower passenger trains would be put into sidings miles ahead and wait for minutes to an hour on end just to let the 20th Century pass. The train had to be on-time if it wanted to be the first into Chicago or New York City, and beat the Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited. In this story I've written, a rather experienced engineer is paired up with a relatively new fireman whose not been out on the Water Level Route yet. The fireman has also yet to see the new 20th Century Limited in his position on the railroad, and also hasn't seen it at speed. Safe to say, he's rather looking forward to it when they have to pull into a siding to allow the train to pass.

Thanks to my good friend m00ter for voicing the fireman:
