Hello all you fantastic people who know trains and railways!
I have a question that might sound totally weird to you, but I need an answer in this (and I'm sorry if this is off topic on this part of the forum):
If you wanted to go by ordinary passenger train from New York to New Orleans in the 1920's (say 1921), what would the railroad company names be of the different sections along the way? I've managed to locate the AT&SF railroad company for the Lousiana part of the trip, but what was the northern part of the company names called from New York all the way down to where the AT&SF took over?
And also, where would the passenger(s) change trains before reaching New Orleans? I believe the overall time for the trip should be something like 3 days during these times, but I can easily be totally wrong here.
Sorry for the poor english, since I'm a European guy myself (from Sweden). Thanks in advance for any answer! Erik B.
