[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] Guess the every third day / every other day in later years was not mentioned because those of us talking about it all knew it. It was part of our given. These trains were the pride of the fleet for all concerned. But, as Bill Haithcoat says, up through the 1950's while these trains were the cream, they were only the top layer af quite a few ways to get between the Midwest and Florida. Just counting the different Ohio River crossing points, you had five possibilities, Cairo IL, Evansville IN, Louisville KY, and either Southern or L&N out of Cincinatti. Bound for Florida, you could go through Atlanta any of four ways from the North and West, three toward the Ohio River and the fourth being the KC-Florida Special, and south of Atlanta, go out on the AB&C, CofG-ACL, Southern through Valdosta, or Southern through Jesup, and even skip Jacksonville altogether if Tampa or St. Pete was your destination.
