For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Could we be on the wrong 'track' with No. 99? Nothing suggested so far seems to quite fit. I feel the answer has to be something quite specific because we're looking for "The" up train, as opposed to "An" up train - but I wonder if the answer involves a train at all. An anagram of 'up train' is 'puritan', and I found a steam driven car, circa 1903, called a 'Puritan'. The question setters are always pretty devious with their clues - maybe we ought to be thinking in a completely different area? I don't know - but would welcome any thoughts anyone else may have. This is the last one I have to find - and it's driving me potty!! Oh, I bet those quiz compilers are chuckling at all this! HELP!!!!
I have sent my answers off. I tossed a coin for 99 and put Starlight Express! There have been so many theories and suggestions re this question and I have googled and re-googled. I don't think it's anything to do with Union Pacific - why would it be hyphenated? I had also found 'puritan', but didn't come up with anything positive. However, tried again today (I know it's too late!) and wonder whether it could be PASSENGER STEAMER - The Puritan was one of these?????????????!
