Completely re-equipped with new steel cars and motive power, the Great Northern Railway's New Oriental Limited, is seen here in three railroad-issued postcards circa 1924. It was the line's premier long distance passenger train taking over the mantle of the previous Oriental Limited providing luxury and comfort as a transcontinental crack train established by the earlier Oriental Limited connecting St. Paul, Chicago, and Seattle. The Oriental Limited was subsequently replaced in the years to follow by the Empire Builder. For more information on this top train of the Great Northern, click Here.
