Chicago & North Western's Class ES Pacifics were streamlined for the "400" but bumped by EMD diesels before delivery; crews called them Yellow Jackets for their yellow-and-green paint, and they worked other passenger runs until 1953. Broadway Limited's first brass-hybrid run recreates 1617 and 1620 in 1942 and 1944 appearance and as 617 and 620 after the 1952 renumbering, plus two fantasy schemes — Seaboard Air Line "Silver Meteor" 865 and Chicago & Eastern Illinois "Dixie Flagler" 1008 — each in Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC with synchronized puffing smoke or as Stealth Series No-Sound/DCC-Ready with 21-pin interface.
