Western Star (train)
The ''Western Star'' was a named passenger train operated by the Great Northern Railway between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest via Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. Between Chicago and St. Paul the train used the route of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad; in later years eastbound passengers were accommodated on Burlington trains east of St. Paul. Through cars from the train operated between Spokane, Washington and Portland, Oregon via the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway. It operated from 1951 to 1971.
==History==
The ''Western Star'' was inaugurated in June 3, 1951, replacing the ''Oriental Limited'' as the secondary train along the Great Northern's transcontinental route. The Great Northern's primary train was the famed ''Empire Builder'', which made the run in 45 hours. The ''Western Star'' required a more leisurely 58 hours, making more intermediate stops and serving branches the ''Empire Builder'' bypassed, such as Grand Forks, North Dakota and Great Falls, Montana.〔 The ''Star'' used equipment from the ''Empire Builder'', which had been completely reequipped.〔
Amtrak did not retain the ''Western Star'' as part of its national route network and the train was discontinued on May 1, 1971, although it did re-route the ''Empire Builder'' to serve Grand Forks.〔
