All of these were Trains that I rode with my Father who was a Conductor on the SR at the time, where could I go to get any info about these specific trains, trains 1 and 2 ran between cincinatti, and jacksonville, and 31/32 was a local between atlanta and chattanooga, and 24/25 was also a local that ran between atlanta and columbus ga.i have tried a few archives but nothing helpful so far. This was back in the 1940's.My Father was part of the train crew that brought back President Roosevelts body from Warm Springs to Atlanta, April 1945 I believe.

Amazing the level of rail service that the U.S had before Amtrak.   

Were you able to take any photos? Would be great to see them if you did Cool [8D]

"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"
