I can't wait to see it, when my computer feels like updating it. It will be amazing I'm sure

Yeah, maybe I should have waited until AFTER the server maintenance to post this (my web host is taking the site down from midnight-4 am today).

Thanks for your web site, Eric, You "Concourse" timetables are very interesting and well done. I once took a train, in the mid 1960's , from Stockton, Calif. to Gallup, NM. I could not remember which train, but now I see it was the San Francisco Chief.
I also looked at the City of Portland, the 1956 schedule. It must not have been easy to make connections to West Yellowstone. UP trains #35 and #36, from Pocatello to West Yellowstone, really ran at weird times, making connections very inconvenient. It may have been easier to have a bus connection.

Eric, great stuff, as usual. Here's an idea for an addition to your "Old South" section, which I got from the current issue of Passenger Train Journal: the Central of Georgia's intrastate "Nancy Hanks II" (1947-1971).

Here are a couple of ideas for when the notion strikes....
For track 1, Southern's 'Augusta Special'
For track 2, Southern's 'Skyland Special' and Louisville & Nashville's 'Flamingo'.

All good ideas. Does anyone have any personal experience or anecdotes they might be willing to share, or is there some reference material you can point me to?
