The Nickel Plate Limited, later known as the City of Cleveland and City of Chicago, was a passenger night train operated by the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad (Nickel Plate) between Chicago and Buffalo, New York via Cleveland, Ohio, with through service to Hoboken, New Jersey (for New York City) via Binghamton and Scranton and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad for the Buffalo-Hoboken segment.
The Nickel Plate bestowed the name Nickel Plate Limited on an existing (unnamed) Chicago-New York service in April 1929. It was the first named Nickel Plate train since 1906. The Nickel Plate also added Pullman club cars and sleepers to compete with New York Central Railroad service (such as the Forest City) over the same route.[1]: 154 The DL&W’s New York Mail handled eastbound through cars between Buffalo and New York while the Phoebe Snow (before 1949, the Lackawanna Limited) handled cars westbound.[2]: 45 Into the train’s later years, it would offer the range of sleeper accommodations, from the open sections to the modern roomettes to a drawing room.[3] The Nickel Plate trains would link with the DLW trains at Lackawanna Station in Buffalo.[4]
In 1954 the Nickel Plate renamed the train: the westbound train became the City of Chicago while the eastbound train became the City of Cleveland. Through service to Hoboken ended in 1959. Both trains survived the Nickel Plate itself: service ended on September 10, 1965, a year after the Nickel Plate’s 1964 merger with the Norfolk and Western Railway. They were the final remnants of the Nickel Plate’s passenger service.[2]: 46

Due to the overwhelming demand for model train repairs, we are forced to implement a new policy. NO engines will be accepted for repair until further notice. The ONLY exception is for an engine under warranty (less than 1 year old ) with proof of purchase from Stockyard Express. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we must do this to get back to a timely service schedule.
