[QUOTE]Originally posted by ehbowen: [QB] All right, Mr. Norman, you have convinced me. The [i]City of Los Angeles[/i] makes the list. I suppose that it's only fitting; UP along with CB&Q essentially invented the streamliner to begin with. Still an open question in my mind: The [i]Coast Daylight,[/i] "The Most Beautiful Train In The World," versus the overnight [i]Lark[/i] on the same route. I still lean towards the [i]Daylight[/i]. Any passionate advocates either way want to weigh in? The list as it currently stands: [i]Super Chief 20th Century Limited California Zephyr Broadway Limited The Canadian Panama Limited Coast Daylight The Hiawathas Silver Meteor City of Los Angeles North Coast Limited[/i] That's eleven. I originally wanted no more than ten--but, of course, that's a self-imposed, arbitrary limit. What's the general consensus? Does one of the above not belong, or should I stretch it out a notch? If everyone for the most part agrees that all of the nominees do indeed represent the best that North American passenger travel had to offer during the streamliner era, I'd prefer the latter. Now that I've piqued everyone's curiosity, it's time to disappear back into my hidey-hole and start coding HTML. I'm still learning, so when these pages appear they won't be as prettified as I would eventually like. But I will try to include as much of the original information as possible, and to me that's the main thing. Give me a few weeks, and I should have a good start on the trains on this list, at least. Thanks again for all the help! [/QB][/QUOTE]
