Pullman Bi-Level Passenger Cars started their operation on the Flambeau 400 and
the Peninsula 400 trains in 1958. At the time, these two 400 trains
were the only ones using these then-new Bi-Level cars. In addition to
the Bi-level coaches, these two 400 trains also included a special
Bi-Level Parlor Car and a Coach-Buffet Car to distinguish the service
level from regular Chicago & North Western commuter trains and
meet the rider’s needs on the longer distance trips.
