In 2009 Amtrak consolidated the Ann Rutledge, Kansas City Mule, and the St. Louis Mule under the new name Missouri River Runner. HistoryPre-AmtrakThe Alton Railroad inaugurated the Ann Rutledge in 1937 as a companion to the Abraham Lincoln over the St. Louis–Chicago route. The Alton named the train after Ann Rutledge, a woman from New Salem, Illinois, who may have been the first love of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.[1] The Ann Rutledge used the Lincoln's original lightweight equipment set, while the Lincoln received a matching set originally used by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's (B&O) Royal Blue.[2]{{rp|145}} The Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad (GM&O) continued the Ann Rutledge upon its merger with the Alton in 1947.[3] The GM&O ended the Ann Rutledge on April 27, 1958.{{rp|225}} AmtrakAmtrak revived the name Ann Rutledge on February 15, 1976 for an Amfleet-equipped train on the St. Louis-Chicago route, replacing a Turboliner frequency. The revival proved short-lived: on October 31 Amtrak extended the Laredo-St. Louis Inter-American through to Chicago, replacing the Ann Rutledge. In a reversal of the situation with the Alton in the 1930s, Amtrak used the Ann Rutledge's Amfleet coaches to re-equip a revived Abraham Lincoln. Amtrak revived the Ann Rutledge again on October 30, 1977, replacing the Abraham Lincoln.{{rp|229}} Until the State House was replaced with the Lincoln Service on October 30, 2006, the Ann Rutledge operated as trains 303/304 over the full {{convert|567|miles|adj=on}} route between Chicago and Kansas City via St. Louis, serving as part of both the Illinois Service and Missouri Service. After October 2006, it operated as trains 313/314 between only St. Louis and Kansas City, connecting to Lincoln Service trains 303/304 at St. Louis.[4]In 2009, Amtrak consolidated the Ann Rutledge, Kansas City Mule, and the St. Louis Mule under the new name Missouri River Runner. {{clear left}}References1. ^{{citeweb|title=Ann Rutledge in American Memory: Social Change and the Erosion of a Romantic Drama |last=Schwartz |first=Barry |url=http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/jala/26.1/schwartz.html |accessdate=2008-04-02 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080706192819/http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/jala/26.1/schwartz.html |archivedate=2008-07-06 |df= }} 2. ^{{cite book | title=Royal Blue Line: the classic B&O train between Washington and New York | last=Harwood | first=Herbert H. |author2=Courtney B.
