I'm looking at a New York Central timetable (Form 1001) dated April 25, 1965.
The railroad advertises two daily trains, Numbers 50/51 and Numbers 61/46, between New York and Montreal, even though New York Central didn't own any track north of Albany, where these trains ran as Delaware and Hudson trains #34/35 and #9/10. Apparently these trains ran with NYC equipment, even though most of their route was D&H.
They also ran train #303/304, the James Whitcomb Riley, which seems to have run most of its route as Chesapeake and Ohio #1/4, between Chicago and Virginia via Cincinnati. In a later timetable dated December 3, 1967, this train is still listed as a named train, while all the other NYC trains have only numbers. I'm guessing it was a C&O train running on NYC rails between Cincinnati and Chicago; am I right?
