About Travel & Places

Before the interstate highway and the jet age, the great named trains were rolling legends — each one polished, punctual, and proud of its route. The California Zephyr traced the Rockies in silver and blue; the Hiawatha raced the shore of Lake Michigan at speeds that drew crowds to the lineside just to watch it pass. Grand depots hummed with anticipation, redcaps moved luggage with practiced grace, and the long, low wail of a steam whistle meant that somewhere, a magnificent journey was about to begin.
