In some recent reading that I did I came across a mention of a United Press article in 1929 that was written on the occassion of the completion of a link between the two divisions of the International Railways of Central America in Guatemala and El Salvador. The article apparently described the theoretical possibility of a 5,000 mile passenger trip beginning in Hudson Bay, Canada and ending at La Union, El Salvador on the Gulf of Fonseca.
Although there were many interesting possibilities I had to consider whether or not in some way the existence of this link represented the height of American railroads, at least in their passenger capacity during what I like to refer to as the "legacy" era. At least to my knowledge this example almost certainly represents a historical "high water mark" for American passegner rail in that era.
