By the 1960's, the Kansas City Zephyr suffered from lack of passengers, and sometimes the train had only three cars behind an E-unit. Commonly, it had a baggage/RPO, a dome coach, and a diner/parlor/observation car of the late 1930's.
In my opinion, it is the ultimate "pike sized" passenger train.

OK, if I had to pick one it would have to be the New York Central:

gmpullman Speaking of Hamilton, Wayne, I thought you might like this: CNR_Hamilton by Edmund, on Flickr Cheers, Ed
Thanks for that postcard view of the CNR station, Ed. It's long gone, but the yard, to the right, is still in use. There's a larger station to the east (behind the viewer of the picture), built in the '30s, but it's now privately owned. GO Transit, the provincial commuter service, has built a new station nearby, but it's still in only limited use.
Pruitt I really enjoy this thread, but I don't visit it much because I can't just pick up at the last post where I left off. I have to scrool around to find the post I last saw to pick it up again. Is there a way to go to the last unread post on this forum? If so, I can't figure it out.
Yes, on the main page showing the list of threads, simply left-click on the words "replied to this thread" which appear after the name of the last person who posted.
It doesn't always work as it should - in this case, it took me to your post, (quoted above) then the view reverted to a post 4 or 5 places earlier, although still on the last page. When the thread length surpasses three pages (I think) it's sometimes otherwise difficult to find the latest post, but this method at least should put you on the proper page.
Too simple!
