When World War II came to an end in 1945, America was on the verge of an unprecedented economic boom that carried over to its vast rail transportation system. Soon after hostilities subsided, railroads placed orders for new streamlined passenger trains from builders such as American Car & Foundry, Budd and Pullman-Standard. Heavyweight passenger cars which had served well throughout the war, were coming to the end of their useful lives, and were clearly outdated, as well. Passengers wanted new, fashionable trains with streamlined, sleek cars and locomotives.
