“North Coast Limited” in character and is in every respect a first-class train. This train has attached to it the Yellowstone Park Pullman from St. Paul to Gardiner and from Gardiner to Portland.
The Burlington route express runs daily between St. Louis, Kansas City, Lincoln, and Denver and Tacoma and Seattle with close connections to and from Portland. While a shorter train than the Pacific express, the character of its equipment is the same and includes a Pullman standard sleeping car between Lincoln and Gardiner, westbound, and from Portland to Gardiner and Gardiner to Lincoln, eastbound. Pullman tourist and standard sleeping cars also run between St. Louis and Seattle. This train runs over Northern Pacific tracks between Billings, Mont., and Seattle.
The “Lake Superior Limited” is a fast, curtailed—as to length only—“North Coast Limited” that runs daily between Minneapolis and St. Paul and Duluth and Superior, and has as its principal features a parlor and an observation-café car. The train is electric lighted and steam heated.
The “Puget Sound Limited” is a train similar to the “Lake Superior Limited” and is operated daily between Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. This train is brand new, Pullman built, and provides an observation and dining car service equal to anything in the United States. It makes but few stops and fast time.
The Eastern traveler who has never been in the West will be surprised beyond measure at the character of these trains, the train service, including particularly, perhaps, the dining and observation cars, the rapid time made on such long runs, and the excellence of the roadbed, which is rock and gravel ballasted.
