In artwork promoting the Milwaukee Road’s 1947 Olympian Hiawatha, Mom says goodnight to Jimmy and Sally in the upper and lower berths of a section in a new “Touralux” car. Specially built for the Olympian Hi, the Touralux sleepers contained 14 extra-roomy, semi-private sections.

Remember that having the Touralux sleepers was an attempt to attract passengers to the Olympian Hiawatha “speedliner” and compete with Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
