Talk:Twin Cities 400

Lead picture
The current picture of a "400 series" locomotive is incorrect. The streamlined locomotive shown was not used on The 400. This locomotive is really a 4000 Class locomotive used on different trains and the image is cropped such that the fourth digit does not appear.

The 400 started with rebuilt Class E-2a locomotives that were not streamlined. They were replaced by diesel locomotives.

The original 400 was renamed the Twin Cities 400 as Chicago and North Western added additional 400 trains serving other routes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.139.233.0 (talk) 04:05, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that is correct. I have lost the book I had about the 400 passenger trains, but I believe they might have been used on the Chicago-Omaha Kate Shelley 400, or the Chicago-Mankato Minnesota 400. Group29 (talk) 15:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I replaced the image with one of the actual train. Kablammo (talk) 15:39, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Distance
There is a route-mile discrepancy between the text and the infobox template. I started a discussion at Template_talk:Twin_Cities_400. Kablammo (talk) 15:11, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks! See the discussion for more info on what happened. Group29 (talk) 20:30, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

inadequate grease fittings
< Each 400 train required two steam locomotives, which were swapped partway through the trip, primarily because some grease fittings on the train could not withstand the entire journey at high speed. >

Where did the swap take place?
