Ok this was really REALLY wierd.
Driving home from work today on I-94 in Minneapolis, I swore I saw the steamer from the hiawatha from the 1930's. Beautiful orange- gray paint scheme. Yeah I know they were all scrapped. Turns out the local transit company has painted a bus to look like a Hiawatha atlantic. Has anyone else seen this beauty? It might be a special deal painted up for either the opening of the hiawatha light rail line or for the Milwaukee Road Historical Society convention at the end of the month.[?]

SO it was on the road and not the rails, right? [;)]
Sounds like a neat promotion, any pictures? [:)]

Either I need to switch to the brand of gin Warren drinks, or a neat bus is on the roads up north. Either way ... lets get a photo.
