Black Hawk (CB&Q train)
The ''Black Hawk'' was a named passenger train operated by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) between Chicago, Illinois, and Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.〔 Photograph of timetable posted on flickr.com by David Wilson.〕 (The CB&Q was also commonly known as the "Burlington Route".) The train operated on an overnight schedule, being the nighttime counterpart to the ''Twin Zephyrs''. It was a competitor in the Chicago-Twin Cities overnight train market to the ''Pioneer Limited'' of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (commonly known as the "Milwaukee Road") and the ''North Western Limited'' of the Chicago and North Western.
In common with its competitors listed above, the ''Black Hawk'' carried both sleeping cars and coaches. With departure well past dinnertime, breakfast was the only meal provided by the train's diner or diner-lounge car, in addition to "evening refreshments" upon departure. In later years breakfast became Continental in nature.
During its final years, the ''Black Hawk'' provided an eastbound connection with the Northern Pacific Railway's ''Mainstreeter'', and the Great Northern Railway's ''Western Star''. By the late 1960s it was actually combined with the ''Western Star'' both ways, and with the ''Mainstreeter'' westbound.
The ''Black Hawk'' was discontinued after its final run on the night of April 12–13, 1970, six weeks after the CB&Q had been merged into Burlington Northern on March 2.
