I've returned to adding new material over the past couple of months. If you haven't been by in a while, I've added:
—Two heavyweight era classics, a San Francisco Overland and a Los Angeles Limited from 1927.
—A Vista-Dome Denver Zephyr from 1957.
—The final Orient Express timetable from 2009.
—Four short-distance Texas trains; a prewar Sam Houston Zephyr and Texas Rocket and a pair of Missouri Pacific's Houston-New Orleans trains.
—My long-delayed in-depth look at the Sunset Limited, featuring four new timetables from the train's decline and fall in the 1960s.
—And, finally, Santa Fe's very last owned and operated revenue passenger train.
So if you haven't been to Streamliner Schedules in a while, stop on by!

I can't wait to see it, when my computer feels like updating it. It will be amazing I'm sure

Yeah, maybe I should have waited until AFTER the server maintenance to post this (my web host is taking the site down from midnight-4 am today).

Thanks for your web site, Eric, You "Concourse" timetables are very interesting and well done. I once took a train, in the mid 1960's , from Stockton, Calif. to Gallup, NM. I could not remember which train, but now I see it was the San Francisco Chief.
I also looked at the City of Portland, the 1956 schedule. It must not have been easy to make connections to West Yellowstone. UP trains #35 and #36, from Pocatello to West Yellowstone, really ran at weird times, making connections very inconvenient. It may have been easier to have a bus connection.

Eric, great stuff, as usual. Here's an idea for an addition to your "Old South" section, which I got from the current issue of Passenger Train Journal: the Central of Georgia's intrastate "Nancy Hanks II" (1947-1971).

Here are a couple of ideas for when the notion strikes....
For track 1, Southern's 'Augusta Special'
For track 2, Southern's 'Skyland Special' and Louisville & Nashville's 'Flamingo'.

All good ideas. Does anyone have any personal experience or anecdotes they might be willing to share, or is there some reference material you can point me to?
