Red River Limited (passenger train)

Red River Limited (passenger train)

The Great Northern Railways third new train set of 1950 was a new schedule named the RED RIVER. The five car streamliner built by American Car & foundry began service June 25, 1950 operating a round trip daily between Grand Forks, North Dakota and Saint Paul, Minnesota (324 miles). The train went southbound in the morning returning northbound in the evening. The cars for the Red River streamliner were quite different than those built for the international in that they were built with extra insulation and the coaches were equipped with Baker Heaters as their was no steam heat available at the Grand Forks depot where the cars would stand overnight. The power would be sent to the roundhouse for any running repairs and service so the solution was the installation of the Baker Heaters in the cars.
