Streamliners to the Twin Cities Photo Archive
By John Kelly
For many years the proud 400's, the bold Hiawathas and the sleek Twin Zephyrs held the fastest start-to-stop times in the world. Each railroad had its own route, but all three has the same goal: to carry the maxium number of passengers between Chicago and the Twin Cities in the shortest amount of time. Which of these trains was the swiftest? The speed of all of three trains was timed frequently, and each of the broke the 100 mph limit almost daily. Large format photos and informative captions take the reader back to this exciting era. A fine addition to all railroads buff libraries. $29.95
