The Mississippi Riverview was not overlooked - it's a matter of GN's EPB, NP's 
NCL & Q's Blackhawk having their names unchanged from 'way back when' to BN (& 
into Amtrak in case of EPB/NCL) whereas the Twin's took over the day train name 
in the 30's.  If you had been a railfan, traveler, travel agent, etc in the 
first 1/3 of the century, the Mississippi Riverview was well known.  I'll bring 
some of their brochures to Spring meet (have to miss our annual this fall).  
Pre-Twin TT's also extolled the M.R.

Good information, Mitch. I have to wonder why this train was so overshadowed by 
the other three. Maybe it only operated for a few years?

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.
