My favorite was Great Northern's Western Star, after it had been combined with the Fast Mail as Trains 27 west and 28 east, St. Paul to Seattle. It featured high quality passenger accomodations and lots of old mail and express cars, behind multiple F's and later SDP-40s. Excellent food in diner or lounge and cheap sleep in leg-rest coaches or 1947 Pullman sleeping cars. In the winter, there were only 2 coaches plus a dinner and a 16-4 sleeper, but in the late 50s, one of the coaches was a dome! Only bad thing: In the summer, there was a round-end ob that had express cars behind it!
