The same thing happened for the VR's Streamlined S class steam locomotives in Australia.

My dad worked for the NYC from 1931-35 and after being a hostler in Croton he got on the extra board as an engineer. He was going into the Naval Reserve and for his last day he got to run the 20th Century from Albany to Syracuse, with the regular engineer to keep him on schedule; because if you were 2 minutes late it was very serious, unless there was some mechanical defect. After the war when he finished college he went back to the NYC in the Public Affairs department making movies, and things like that. He got to ride the 20th Century many times to talk to passengers and do PR work on the train.

a ticket on the 20th Century Limited cost a fortune, even in the 30s. Well according to the PRR fares on the Broadway Limited in 1956 a Bedroom was $76.21 which is almost $650 now. I'm sure the 20th Century was more, and the Super Chief was even worse. in 1968 a Super Chief base fare from Chicago to LA was $89.84 add the Room fee of 23.90 its over $100 (not counting the $7.50 extra fare surcharge). that's nearly $1000 today.
