A ticket to ride
Undated, but likely to be around 1950, this ticket for two passengers on the Empire Builder train wasn’t cheap, working out at a basic $110.06 per person and a sleeping car berth at $34.67. The 48-hour journey from Minnesota to the Pacific North West via the Northern Rockies would have passed through spectacular scenery. An interesting memento at the Minnesota Transportation Museum in St. Paul.
