Remarks & Notes 
The Southern Crescent, Queen of the East and the South. This was America's train just as much as the City of New Orleans, The Super Chief and the Twentieth Century Limited. Also consider the Hiawatha, the Rock Island Rockets, the Zephyrs, the New England States Express and the Empire Builder.
