An underrated classic — “The main feature of this train is that the two passenger wagons are totally customisable. In short, there are 4 compartments that can be removed and placed on the tenders, which allows the little station truck to drive up the ramp, hook itself up to any of the compartments,... More and drive away. These compartments, as per the first instructions in the manual, feature bedding areas and dining areas.”

“The train has an awesome color scheme going on and futuristic tone. It just looks so good going fast on long straight track. I like that the locomotive at least resembles a train compared to Railway Express 4561 which follows the basic layout of this train. It’s got a... More classic style to it.”

“4559 Cargo Railway replaces the immensely popular 4558 Metroliner (1991-1995) in the Train System Line. While the Metroliner was strictly a passenger train, Cargo Railway is a unique integration of a passenger train [and] a cargo train. It features two cars that ride on the... More same stretched flatbed platform that of 4547 Railroad Club Car.”
