The Capitol 400 was a streamlined passenger train operated by the Chicago and North Western Railway between Chicago Illinois and Madison Wisconsin via Milwaukee Wisconsin. From Madison it returned to Chicago via Janesville Wisconsin. It operated from 1942 to 1950. It was one of the railroad’s 400 passenger trains whose name stemmed from the original ‘400-mile 400-minute’ express operated by the railroad between Chicago and Minneapolis–St. Paul.
