The Chicago and Alton Railroad was a pioneer in luxury passenger service. After the turn of the twentieth century, the railroad's premier run between Chicago and St. Louis was named the Alton Limited, but was often referred to as the "red train" because of its trademark livery. In 1924, the C&A updated the Alton Limited, a fast, Pacific-type locomotive pulled a brand new set of Pullman heavyweight cars, all painted in matching shades of maroon and red. From its debut at Chicago's (then under-construction) Union Station, the "new" Alton Limited was given the title "Handsomest Train in the World." The American Flyer Alton Limited set features an all-new scale-sized Pacific-type locomotive and matching all-new heavyweight passenger cars. SET INCLUDES: Pacific locomotive and tender, combination car, two coaches, observation car. LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES: TrainMaster Command Control equipped - able to run in Command Control Mode or in Conventional Transformer Control Mode with most American Flyer and Lionel transformers RailSounds 5.0 sound system with custom recorded effects including: Multi-part CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements to create realistic operating scenarios, from pulling out of the yard to initiating an emergency stop.

Simulate the locomotive running light or battling against a heavy load by manually adjusting the DynaChuff intensity level with CAB-1 commands.
