Minnesota Centennial Train
Locomotives

The Centennial Train was pulled by a locomotive from whatever railroad the train happened to be on.

Minnesota at the time was served by 11 railroads:

Burlington Lines
Canadian National Railway
Chicago Great Western Railway
Chicago & Northwestern System
Duluth, Misabe & Iron Range Railway
Great Northern Railway
Milwaukee Road
Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway
Northern Pacific Railway
Rock Island Lines
Soo Line

These railroads hauled the Centennial Train to display dates in all of Minnesota's counties - except Cook County, which had no rail lines.
