Print Description:
On a cold and blustery evening in December 1945 there is holiday season activity at the Northern Pacific Railway depot in Staples, MN. Peace has finally come to the nation after nearly four years at war. However, the joy of the season will be bittersweet, tempered by memories and reminders of the cost of peace. The idling twin motors of NP gas-electric B-24 indicates that No.2, the east bound North Coast Limited is on schedule to arrive shortly. The doodlebug and a coach make up No.56, the Staples-Duluth local waiting to connect with No.2. Then No.2676 arrives with the first section of No.2. Once connection has been made the local will quickly depart eastward for Duluth, MN and No.2 will continue its journey to St Paul, MN about 140 miles southeast.
