This streamlined service linked Chicago with Milwaukee, Minneapolis and other Midwestern cities. The bi-level, or gallery cars, were inaugurated on the Flambeau 400 from Chicago to Northern Wisconsin and the Peninsula 400 from Chicago to Upper Michigan in 1955.

This allowed them to retire conventional cars in favor of the more cost effective gallery cars.
