THE North Coast Limited" has
transported over ten million people

troduced to the public such travel
luxures as tub baths, valet and bar

On Sunday, April 30, 1900, "The

Introductory trip.
Great crowds of st. Paul and Mimi
eapolis people watched the new train
pull out of the terminal on it's maid

tions it was opened to the inspection
Of visitors. Thousands of people
passed through it at St. Paul, Mimi
eapolis, Fargo, Butte, Spokane and
Seattle, and briefer inspections at
tracted crowds at the smaller cities.
A reception committee Of 1000 gave
the train Il rousing welcome when it
arrived at Seattle, promptly on time.
Everywhere, visitors exclaimed
over the trains magnificent fur

enjoyed the situation" according to
DIN ID. Wheeler of st. Paul, the his
torian, who rode on the first train
to Fargo, N. Dl "The novelty of tax
