Dave, I had never heard of the RF&P's Blue and Gray but it certainly would have been a "two color" train. I actually had the Frisco's Black Gold in mind which Mike identified and we've moved on to another question. Mark
Well we've eliminated Cincy, Louisville, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta and all the cities in Florida. It's probably time to concentrate on the RR's over which the train ran. Was the RF&P one of them? Mark
If it ran on the RF&P that probably eliminates the Southern leaving us with two likely candidates, the ACL and the SAL. Ennie meenie minney moe, did the train run on the Seaboard? Mark
I can't think of a named SAL train in the post WW2 period that didn't run either to Florida or through Atlanta. Therefor I have to ask if it was a train that was discontinued prior to WW2? Mark
Must be Wilmington, but darned if I can find the name of the train. Edit: Southern Pines (Pinehurst) is also a possibility. But I can't find the name of a train that terminated there either. Mark
[quote user="passengerfan"] [quote user="KCSfan"] Here's the new question. What was the "two color" train, the RR which operated it and its route? Mark [/quote] Did the train operate east of the Mississippi River? Al in Stockton [/quote]No. Mark
Al, No. If it didn't run east of the Mississippi it couldn't run in the southeast. Mark
Was Chicago one of its end point terminals? Mark
[quote user="passengerfan"] Mark That's what happens when you don't get enough sleep. I really mean't to say southwest? Al - in - Stockton [/quote]Yes, Al, its route was in the southwest. Incidentally you may have noticed I'm not keeping track since I didn't intend this to be limited to just 20 questions. Mark
Did the route of the train take it over more than one railroad? Mark
