#49602 Northern Pacific Passenger Train

Lionel made its version of the Northern Pacific Passenger Train (#49602) in 1992. The set comprised an Alco ABA diesel engine set and the traditional four passenger cars. Three other cars and another B-unit engine were sold separately as add-ons.

Northern Pacific Alco ABA engine set made in 1992. It comprised a #48114 powered A unit, #48116 dummy B Unit, and #48115 dummy A Unit. (Photo courtesy of Chuck Sullivan.)

Because I don't yet have the Lionel Alco A units, this Gilbert unit pulls my train. (Actually, it's the shell of a #492 dummy mounted on a powered chassis.)

#48116 Dummy B Unit Engine

#48920 Combination Car

#48921 Coach Car

#48922 Vista Dome Car

#48923 observation car.  Actually, it's a new 48923 shell that I mounted on the chassis of an old 963 I bought.  (I gave up on trying to find one on an ebay auction.)  I carefully removed the windows and diffuser and used them.

#48924 Vista Dome Car was separately sold in 1992 as an add-on car.

#48925 Coach was the other add-on car sold separately in 1992.

#48934 Dining Car was added in 1994
