An now everyone is reminded: what was the name of the Burlington's day train
between Chi/Twin Cities PRE-Twin Zephyr! This probably would have been a good
trivia question as most people, even die-hard Q fans, forget about pre-Zephyr
era trains.

I did find a date on the brochure. The schedules were effective Nov. 21, 1932.
It had the Mississippi Riverview dept Mpls 8:15am St Paul 9:00am, arrive
Chicago 7:10pm. The North Coast Limited dept Mpls 10:20pm, St Paul 11:00pm,
arrive Chicago 9:00am. The Empire Builder dept Mpls 10:05pm, St Paul 10:45pm,
arrive Chicago 8:45am. The Blackhawk dept Mpls 9:00pm, St Paul 9:40pm arrive
Chicago 8:00am.
Not exactly speedy trains at 10 hour runs from St Paul to Chicago. It also gave
time for connection to southbound trains.I don't think it had anything about
cars in the consist, but will try to look later.
