| Undaunted by a
December 1951 snowstorm, the Wabash Blue Bird flies south from Chicago
to the impressive Union Station in St. Louis. This handsome Budd-built
train was one of the finest regional streamliners in the Heart of
America. The streamlined, six-car train featured not one, but four
Vista-Dome cars. The Blue Bird made one round trip daily, heading
north from St. Louis in the morning and arriving in Chicago’s
Dearborn Station in mid-afternoon where it was turned for a late
afternoon southbound departure. |
