[CBQ] Another Great Depression consolidation

["Phillips, III, J.A." <whstlpnk@ix.netcom.com>]

Two Heavy Trains Consolidated
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, as a means of reducing passenger train 
miles, is running the _Empire Builder_ and the _North Coast Limited_ (scheduled 
to leave Chicago at 10:45 P.M. and 10:30 P.M. respectively) as one train to the 
Twin Cities. From the Twin Cities to Seattle, Tacoma and Portland the _Empire 
Builder_ runs over the Great Northern, while the _North Coast Limited_ goes 
over the Northern Pacific. Eastbound, the trains are combined at the Twin 
Cities and operated as one into Chicago. If either train is twenty-five minutes 
late or if there are more than eighteen cars, each train is run separately.

_Railway Age_, December 17, 1932, p. 922.
