A Nickel Plate Road train carries piggyback trailers from Chicago to Buffalo. Piggyback traffic was gaining traction on railroads across America as railroads competed against the Interstate Highways for long hauls. The Chicago Great Western trailer on this train tells the story of railroads such as the CGW, which tried in many ways to keep traffic moving on its railroad system across the Midwest.
