The smaller railroads needed to keep up with the expensive high profile name trains, Lehigh Valley hired Otto Kuhler to modernize the trains between Scranton and New York City. He went with a red, black and aluminum livery and added some streamline features to two of their 25 year old Pacific locomotives. The result was this eye-catching train introduced in 1939. The illustration for the brochure was also done by Otto Kuhler. The streamlining lasted till the metal drives of WW2 and the train was discontinued in 1961.
