Wonderful reading, thanks Roger. Though it presents a sad commentary on the evolution of rail transportation for the following 77 years.
Great Roger, I have no words to thank you for this. As a kid I had no knowledge of the Southwestern Limited. Great timetable! And yet another 6000 series Hudson to top it off.
Roger, thanks for the timetable and photo. The Southwestern Limited was every bit as luxurious as the 20th Century Limited and should be better known and appreciated. From the beginning this train provided the same features and services as the TCL.
