Passenger trains over Tehahchipi Pass after May 1, 1971
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, July 6, 2006 4:26 AM
In the August issue of Trains, Dave Ingles wrote that, prior to the detour of Amtrak's COAST STARLIGHT over Tehat. Pass last spring, only 5 passenger trains available to "the average Joe" had operated over it since 1May 71. He said the last one had been in 1991, so that rules out Amer. Orient Express or U.P. specials. I know one train was the 1984 "Worlds Fair Daylight" which Ingles rode behind 4449; 2 others were the AT&SF steam specials. one each way, in late 1991. What were the other 2 trains?
