Ride in the Pullman car that was built for the opening of Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan when Robert Todd Lincoln was still President of the Pullman Company, a car that later came west to enter transcontinental coach service on the Northern Pacific Railway. This car was used in the train that became the last military call up handled entirely by rail during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when reserves from Minnesota and Wisconsin were transported to Fort Lewis, Washington.

Hi.  I'm Frank.  I began my railroading career with the Milwaukee Road while in college.  After graduation I worked for the Northern Pacific and Burlington Northern.

I incorporated the Lake Whatcom Railway in 1970 and off we went.  Enjoy the preservation of railroading in its heyday.
