So, in another topic I noted that the Seattle-Portland running times are significantly lower than they were in 1951, and there are more total frequencies.
What other Amtrak city pairs have *better* rail service than they did in 1951, by this highly specific definition? Either higher frequencies, or lower running times. Anyone who's got old timetables which cover more than one railroad may be able to help.
I am not actually sure that there are any others with higher frequencies -- for instance, Philadelphia-New York has a lot of services now, especially counting the commuter lines, but I don't know if they're more than the PRR ran, and there used to be several other Philly-NYC railroads on different sets of tracks! I should hope the NEC has shorter running times, though.
