Prototype Information:
The Streamliners" were operated by Union Pacific, Chicago & North Western, and Southern Pacific with some equipment "pooling" with Wabash and other railroads. The most famous trains were the City of Los Angeles and the City of San Francisco, departing from Chicago, IL for the West. Additional trains were known as the City of Portland and the City of St. Louis.
The biggest partners, UP and C&NW, advertised "Route of the Streamliners" on their box cars. In essence, each of the partner railroads "owned" portions of the train; they were true partners, not simply connecting railroads.

Today, these trains remain among the best remembered of all postwar lightweight passenger trains. Even today, the Union Pacific Historic Fleet is used for company business as well as special excursions, continues the long tradition of yellow and gray passenger trains.

Model Features :

Two 4 car sets decorated in Union Pacific colors will be available allowing hobbyists to build complete prototypical trains.
All cars have accurate detail and painting and are equipped with Kato Magnetic Knuckle Couplers. Blackened metal wheels with all-wheel electrical pickup. Optional lighting kits are available below

For power, Kato is offering new Union Pacific E8 Locomotives which will be released in February '08. This will be a very limited run subject to allocation by Kato. E8's will feature illuminated number boards, Golden White LED's and be DCC friendly.
