"''All aboard the streamlined, Vista-Dome North Coast Limited leaving on Track 1 for Minnesota's Lake Region, the vast prairies of North Dakota, Montana's magnificent Rockies, Idaho's lakes and forests, the Inland Empire of Spokane to Puget Sound country, and the great seaports of Seattle-Tacoma and Portland.''

Always a progressive leader in railroading, Northern Pacific was the first to offer sleeping and dining car service from St. Paul to the Pacific Northwest.

Outstanding vintage photography, brochures, postcards, menus, timetables and advertisements tell the story of the Northern Pacific's glory years from the 1930s through the 1960s. Featured are the heavyweight North Coast Limited (the finest passenger train in North America), the faster Vista-Dome passenger trains, steam and diesel locomotives, freight cars, maintenance-of-way and cabooses."
