Posted by kp5308 on Fri Feb 21 23:02:34 2020, in response to Re: PHOTOS: HERITAGE CORRIDOR, posted by Jackson Park B Train on Thu Feb 20 15:50:24 2020. The Abraham Lincoln was the 8 car Cor-Ten steel ACF train set that was originally going to run between Washington & Jersey City. B&O sent that set to the Alton's Chicago-St. Louis corridor along with 4-4-4 Lady Baltimore. That passenger car set never turned a wheel in revenue service on the East Coast.The Royal Blue ACF aluminum 8 car set ran as the DC/Jersey City flagship of the line and was the first train on the route to actually carry the name Royal Blue. The debut was on June 24, 1935. Power initially was the 4-6-4 Lord Baltimore. The boxcab diesel #50 would not arrive until August. IIRC the Columbian wasn't streamlined till 1948. Apparently the Ann Rutledge was very similar to the Abe/Royal Blue sets but was not part of the B&O 2 train set order of 1934. |
