Thanks,

And its solarium parlor cars in the Thirties and early Forties were the

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!

Subject: [CBQ] Twin Cities Trains
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
