This could really use a map of the route from Toledo to Boston. Anyone care to make one? --63.160.95.13 20:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

That's one of my long-term plans. I currently have the route traced from Chicago/Toledo to around Pittsburgh - P&WV has a section. I'd also like to show the NKP to St. Louis.

By the way, do you know where the "Alpha Jets" actually went? Did they go to Boston or just to Maybrook for a transfer to NYNH&H trains? --SPUI (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Map done. I'd like to add state lines but that would be too much of a hassle at this point. --SPUI (talk) 20:55, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

What I can find

Bellevue had to transfer from one train to another, as there was no connection pointing the right way. They would have used the Bellevue Yard.

5-22-1950 Philly-Chicago and Philly-East St. Louis second morning service began

1-1-1955 Philly-Chicago TOFC (trailer on flatcar) service began

Can't find anything about it even going to Jersey City (in the PRR Chronology) but I know it did. --SPUI (talk) 23:22, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Another question - what yards did it use? I got some of them in the article, but I can't figure out the Chicago or St. Louis yards, for instance. --SPUI (talk) 00:35, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
