Chicago & Eastern Illinois Coaches
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, July 17, 2003 12:56 PM
IN 1953 The C&EI ordered 10 new streamlined coaches. Does anybody know to which trains they were assigned? And how many to each train? I lived in Chattanooga, TN, at the time and saw the Dixie Flagler, the Georgian and the Dixie Flyer on a regular basis, and I don't really think they showed up on them, but I was very young and cannot be sure. That leaves the Humming BIrd and short distance trains. Does anybody know?
