This trip began in Tahlequah, OK and involved driving to St. Louis to ride the former Frisco 14-4 sleeper Cimarron River owned by a friend from my graduate school days. The trip involved being pulled to Chicago on the rear of Amtrak's "Texas Eagle". We then headed to Milwaukee, WI on an Amtrak "Hiawatha". In Milwaukee we transferred to a van for the drive to Manitowoc, WI where we boarded the former C&O railroad car ferry S S Badger for a trip across Lake Michigan. We got off the ferry at Ludington, MI to drive to Grand Rapids, MI where our sleeper had been repositioned. After another night on the sleeper, Amtrak pulled us back to Chicago where we then would be returned to St. Louis. After another night on the sleeper in St. Louis, I drove to Memphis. |
