Accommodations in air conditioned standard Pullman sleepers, tourist
sleepers and Hiawatha-type coaches. Electric operation through the Belt
Mountains and Montana Canyon.
Westbound passengers for Yellowstone on the Columbian reach Three Forks
in the morning, have lunch at Gallatin Gateway Inn and leave for the
Park immediately afterward. On the Olympian Hiawatha, you reach Three
Forks in mid-afternoon and remain at the Inn until after lunch the
following day. By eliminating the stay at the Inn, you save money
traveling on the Columbian. There is also some saving of time from
Chicago despite the more leisurely schedule of this train.
