however, as he only lost two head

Owing to the severe storm Friday
night the passenger trains from both

From the Pierre Dakotan we get

The train will be known as the Black

being built for this service which are
to be black trimmed in gilt. There
will be sleepers and diners carried by
the train. The Limited will make
