Trains, July 1961. Huge article on The Pioneer Limited with tons of diagrams of the Pullman cars. Great diagrams and info. And in the editorial area of magazine the editors mention how shortsighted the AAR is for not spending on PR and ads for the AAR Magna Carta of Transportation program the...

I know that used to be more common with unions but with Taft-Hartley and making secondary boycotts and pickets illegal a lot of that went to the wayside, which was the purpose. I was surprised to see this as late at the mid-60s. On the Piedmont train I was on Monday the vending machine has a...

I just realized that Timken has not advertised in Trains in a bit as I start 1960 issues. I guess the market for their roller bearings has matured to the point it is not worth the ad cost. AAR is still buying a full page ad in every issue of Trains. I think that has been the case since issue...

Trains January 1960 has an article about Classic passenger cars. Mostly exterior photos but a few of the insides. Uber first class. November 1960 has some interior pictures and article by a certain author named Beebe.

By standard bedroom do you mean bedroom or roomette. If you mean bedroom then I do think you can fit two suitcases. One area is beside the top bunk and extends out over the hallway and the other area is over the sink. Now the question is can you hoist the large suitcases up in that area. I...

Farther north. Farther west.

Trains December 1959. The cover article title is "The Railroad That Likes Passengers!" Let's play the guessing game before I reveal the answer.

Taking Carolinian later today after visiting granddaughter. Received a note on the phone app about a situation with a vehicle between Washington and BWI and there are delays already. Anyone got any information? Could vehicle mean train cars? I thought the NEC did not have any grade crossings...

Just remember to pull the curtains. I ended up doing jeans about the entire trip, though it was very loose shorts after we boarded at Indy at 11:30 PM. The only time I ended up being out of my room for any length of time was I forced my wife to have breakfast in the Crescent dinner car so I...

I think that was the street where my wife noticed a pile of human excrement as we were walking to the city transit depot. Good times.

I was thinking Indianapolis needs to rent out the terminal for some post-apocalyptic zombie movie. They could promote it as a cheap location not really needing any work to make it look good for that post-apocalyptic feel.

Here goes something I had not said before-----It was better than the flex meal. There I said it. I hope everyone is happy now. 😀 We kept the brownie and chips for later but it was not a bad hamburger. Better than the last time I had the hamburger from the cafe.
