I briefly worked on the old Dixie and was chief engineer on the local competition, the Tahoe Queen.

Origin: La Crosse, WI | Destination: Lake Tahoe, UT. You need to correct the destination. It is Lake Tahoe, NV. NOT Lake Tahoe, UT. Lake Tahoe only borders NV or CA.

That type of move probably cost more than $500!

The only reason it worked is cuz they led with a Pete instead of one of those French Mack's.
