Excerpt from On a Snow-Bound Train: A Winter's Tale

It was a small train - baggage car, express car, two sleepers, the Cadmus and the Europa, a common car, and a smoking car, and none of them half full. Folks knew enough to stay at home such weather, said one brake man to another, if folks had a chance; some folks didn't; and he beat his arms about his body to get up a circulation, and then the train moved out of the station where they had tarried a little, the Coeur d' Alene range being now left behind.

Excerpt from On a Snow-Bound Train: A Winter's Tale

The snow was falling in large, slow flakes, and the skies were gray with the storm-promise, when the train pulled out of the little station lying under the shadow of a spur of the Cœur d' Alene Mountains. Thence the course lay along the Bitter Root River, crossing and re-crossing the frozen stream. Some of the passengers, noting the wintry aspect of the landscape, began to regret a trip undertaken on the Northern Pacific in mid-December. But then this was not a pleasure trip. The few passengers were on their way of necessity; those who could defer a journey until a pleasanter season had remained at home. The employes said that they had not had so light a train for many months, and added grimly that no doubt it "was well, for ten to one they would get stuck."

This was Tuesday morning; the train had left Portland on Monday with fair prospects.
