<p>I had in mind the days, usually during Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the Broadway Limited, as an example, ran in two sections. The second Number 29 usually ran about ten minutes behind Number 29. The Pullmans on the second section were not nearly as nice as those on the first section. </p><p>I grew up in Altoona, PA, which was a crew change point on for the Middle and Pittsburgh divisions. I would go down to the station around 10:00 p.m. to watch the flag trains stop in Altoon for a crew change. On several occasions, in the early 50s, I recall seeing the Broadway in two or more sections over the Christmas holidays. In 1957, the year that I graduate from high school, there were 38 passenger train movements a day through Altoona. Today there are two.</p>
