Requiem for a good train
Railroaders recall the North Coast Limited as it nears its last run on May 1 westbound to Seattle. It was the first electric lit transcontinental and the oldest named train west of the Mississippi in continuous service, redesigned in the 1930s with air conditioning and dining cars. The BN era offers no formal farewell, unlike the Golden Spike Day pageantry of 1883, and the empire builder remains the enduring symbol among Montana rail routes.
