Re: [CBQ] Re: How did the passenger trains make money and other questions? used

I used to commute on the North Coast Limited, Burlington train number 25, 
Saturdays for a weekend in the country at Savanna.  The North Coast Limited 
left 
Chicago at 12:25 p.m., a  few minutes past noon and arrived St. Paul at 7:05 
p.m.  I just checked this in the CB&Q timetable of May-October, 1966, to 
verify.  Perhaps Mr. Harris rode the Mainstreeter, the overnighter, combined 
with 
the Black Hawk and the Western Star, between Chicago and St. Paul.  It 
certainly 
was not the North Coast Limited!  
       Return to Chicago would be on No. 25, the Afternoon Twin Zephyr, 
Sunday evening.  JN
