The Nickel Plate Limited was upgraded to streamliner status in 1950 with new coaches, sleepers and buffet-lounge cars from Pullman-Standard—which were actually surplus from a large order which had been placed by the Chesapeake & Ohio. From the consist and the scheduling it appears that this train was targeted mainly to the overnight business between Chicago and Cleveland, which is why it appears on the Midwest page. However, it did carry through cars to New York (via the Lackawanna) besides connecting the multitude of smaller communities along the route.
