Absolutely correct Art . I was trying to do it from memory and forgot the Crusader all together. I also forgot the Sunbeam and Hustler that operated behind steam until 1950.

Wasn't the "Crusader" steam-hauled after streamlining, as well? So, I believe the period in which it was steam-hauled was ca. 1938-1949 when RDG bought the FP7s.

Beyond the Hiawathas, streamliners pulled by streamlined steam are almost non-existent. The Powhatan Arrow on N&W, the Empire State Express on NYC and the interline Dixie Flagler are the only other ones that comes to mind.
The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Who can give me a complete list of streamlined passenger trains hauled (regularily ) by (streamlined) steam locomotives??? Also the time space in which this took place would be very nice......
