[QUOTE]Originally posted by bill haithcoat: [QB] George, I got my clarification. My paraphrasing is from "Louisville & Nashville Passenger Trains" by Chsster, Chapman, Dorin.It does not deal specifically with Illinois Central trains, so that is my speculation. I found out that the Dixiana ran about two weeks abd then was gone. The Jacksonian and the Floridan were allowed to finish the winter season running on into spring 1942. Here was the line up for the winter 1941 season, as arranged before anyone knew Pearl Harbor would be attacked. Dixie Flagler, all coach Dixieland, all pullman Dixiana, coach and pullman South Wind, all coach Jacksonian, all pullman Florida Arrow, coach and pullman City of Miami, all coach Sunchaser and Floridan, not sure of equipment. During the above schedule it meant that one train left each day on each of the three routes. It seems during the war years just the 3 sreamliners and the regular year round trains like the Dixie Flyer and the Dixie Limited ran. For the 1945-47 season the Dixieland,Florida Arrow and Sunchaser were restored.I have the timetable for that. It think it must have been about two more winter seasons after that that the heavyweight sleepers were put on the lightweight trains.eventually replaced with streamlined sleepers, this much I have already noted. When the Dixie Flagler was re-equipped and renamed the Dixieland Dec. 16,1954, I recall it was sometimes referred to as the "new" Dixieland precisely because it had not been that long since a heavyweight Dixieland operated.
