Minnesotan
:''Minnesotan is also a term for a resident of Minnesota.'' The ''Minnesotan'' was an overnight passenger train run by the Chicago Great Western Railway, using the CGW's trackage between Grand Central Station in Chicago, Illinois, and Saint Paul Union Depot in Saint Paul, Minnesota, via Hayfield, Minnesota. A section of the train split in McIntire, Iowa, to serve Rochester, Minnesota.〔 Begun as the ''Legionnaire'' in 1925, the train was renamed the ''Minnesotan'' in 1930, and was powered by a 4-6-2 ''Pacific''-type locomotive. The ''Minnesotan'' was one of the finest passenger trains the Great Western operated; nevertheless, it could not compete against the other, more famous passenger trains of the Milwaukee Road or the Chicago and North Western. The Great Western discontinued the ''Minnesotan'' as a named-train on May 10, 1949, but Chicago to St. Paul passenger service continued to linger on for several more years. By the early 1950s, a doodlebug or (later) a single EMD F-unit pulled a railway post office car, a baggage car, and a coach. This service was very Athenian compared to the ''Minnesotan'' of less than a century earlier, and ceased entirely on August 11, 1956. ==References==
