Bonzo, a five-year-old chimpanzee appearing in a forthcoming Hollywood motion picture, sits atop the counter at a waiting room in Grand Central Terminal, February 5, 1951. He was there to congratulate and thank a train-caller, left, for getting the New York Central’s 20th Century Limited into the city.

The Limited was one of the few trains to get through despite the railroad workers' strike. Bonzo's trainer, Henry Craig, right, holds the chimp. The board in the rear lists scheduled arrival times of trains and cancellations.

Now with the New York Central hudsons being iconic, I thought I’d have Hudson, Steele and Mark be shown in one post, and as usual, these images will provide Grantgfan with images of my TTTE OCs when the time comes for them to show up in The Genie Team season 9.

Hudson⬇️

Steele⬇️

Mark⬇️

Now since some of the j1 hudsons have different numbers; Grant can edit them to match Mark’s number: #5396.

It's hard to pass up a YouTube video that features the Cedar Rapids, a Milwaukee Road "skytop lounge" observation car, which is clearly the inspiration for the tail car seen in The Hunger Games. Mike on the DownieLive channel rode on a train pulling it plus a bunch of other historic passenger rail cars from famous trains of the past on a trip from Chicago to Huntington, West Virginia, where they were used for the Autumn Colors Express, an excursion train that runs each fall in peak leaf-peeping season.

The Cedar Rapids is owned by the Friends of the 261, aka Railroading Heritage of Midwest America, which also has a steam locomotive and other equipment. They've been based in Minneapolis, but now also have a big former Rock Island railroad facility in the Quad Cities (specifically Silvis, IL)
