Walthers Great Northern 1955 Empire builder 11 car set, all with interiors. Named for James J. Hill, known as the “empire builder” for his consolidation of several smaller lines into the Great Northern, the train that would become GN’s flagship debuted on June 11, 1929. Providing fast, luxury service between Chicago and Seattle, riders were treated to a breathtaking look at both the Cascade and Rocky Mountain ranges, which with influence from GN, led to the development of Glacier National Park. Streamlined in 1947 and finished in a stunning orange and dark green scheme, the train was re-equipped in 1951 and expanded in 1955 with the arrival of Great Domes in the form of both 46-seat vista-dome coaches and full dome lounge cars.
