On a frigid night,
one of the Burlington Route’s awesome 0-5 class Northerns
races along the Mississippi River on its speedy run between the
Twin Cities and Chicago. The train is now following the Mississippi
River and life doesn’t get any better than relaxing in the
warm comfort of the lounge car, while mile after mile of breathtaking
views flash by. Outside, the full moon shimmers on “Old Man
River” and all seems right with the world. |
