Abraham Lincoln (Train)

The Abraham Lincoln was a train line run by the Baltimore & Ohio Railway from 1935 to the 1960s between Chicago and St. Louis. The train later passed to the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad until 1971 when it was handed over to Amtrak, which ran it under the name of the "Lincoln Service", it was the first streamlined service between Chicago and St. Louis, with intermediate stops, and passengers got a glimpse of the Mississippi Between Alton and St. Louis
