Shall you tell him, or I, that "Streamliner" with a capital implies Union Pacific, not CB&Q?

That's a dangerously long verbatim quote if that article is copyrighted.  Probably better to link to it if there's more than a few lines to mention...

I read Mark Steyn Sunday mornings column religiously. Takes quite a while but it's just too good to pass up...
