And its solarium parlor cars in the Thirties and early Forties were the
"Mississippi" and the "Riverview."

     The Mississippi Riverview was the 'day' train between Chi & the Twin
     Cities with the Black Hawk being the overnight train for decades. Your
     brochure has a date (I have a couple versions of this brochures) - look
     inside bottom left of back cover OR the small date in bottom corner of
     the map. The "Mississippi Riverview" was named such by CB&Q after
     absorbing CB&N, A good name as it's daytime sked meant you indeed got a
     good view of the Mississippi River!

     I was sorting through some stuff and found a brochure for Burlington
     winter vacations. It listed 4 Twin Cities to Chicago trains the
     Blackhawk, Empire Builder, North Coast Limited, and the Mississippi
     Review. I could not find a day on this thing either. I never heard of
     the "Mississippi Review" it left the Cities in the evening around
     8:00pm
     and arrived in Chicago around 7:00am. Any information would be helpful
     and interesting.
     Thanks Mitch
