I've enjoyed your Streamliner Schedules website and am pleased to see it keep growing. Your mix of the great trains (Panama Limited) and regional favorites (Steptoe Valley Flyer) keeps the site fresh and entertaining.
I'd like to put in a request that you someday add a timetable for one of my regional favorites - Southern Railway's 'Carolina Special' which operated overnight from Cincinnati to Asheville, NC and then split into a North Carolina section (to Greensboro) and a South Carolina section (to Columbia). The last remnant of this train was discontinued in December 1968 but a better time to spotlight it might be 1964 or so.....before the route was truncated north of Harriman, TN and the North Carolina section was combined with the Asheville Special.

Thanks for the compliments and for the suggestion. It really is a big help when someone recommends a specific train from a specific time period; all too often I find myself looking at the bookcase wondering, "OK, what do I do next?" So if anyone else has any suggestions, particularly if you can contribute a traveler's report or have some other information about what makes a particular train significant, then by all means leave a note here or email me in care of the site.
