The Evening Express
TRRA 200 aka “The Polar Express” glides under the Gateway Arch and the opposing sunset above with a fully loaded train bound for… O’Fallon St… we’ll just ignore that part and say it’s the North Pole, while most people see this as the usual Polar Express I see it as one of the things still keeping “classic”St. Louis railroading a thing around here (I use that lightly and stretch it out) and yes there’s the conventions every so often and then the sporadic dinner trains but with Union Stations plans and just modern culture how much longer will this stuff last.
