A 1929 ad for the Great Northern Railway trumpeted "Watch for it! a transcontinental train with the largest most palatial observation sun room car ever built [sic]"
The proposed Northern Lights Express may not be able to challenge the old Empire Builder when it comes to certain touches like 1925's "four o'clock tea ... served each day in the luxuriously fitted observation cars of the New Oriental Limited," but the original Empire Builder's ads boasted the train "Saves a Business Day!" and indeed, the Northern Lights Express could do the same.
