Oriental Mail Limited Time Clarified for Lake Shore Train
The new Lake Shore time card sets the first Oriental Mail No 43 to pass Elkhart at 11 30 Sunday night with a 2 pm Sunday start for the schedule. The train’s western run matches the Twentieth Century Limited to Chicago in two hours 15 minutes but is slower between Toledo and Elkhart due to 26 stops and a distant last car from the engine. Master Mechanic Cross cites the stop pattern as the reason for the slower Michigan division. East divisions keep the same timing as the Limited, prompting questions about the western time adjustments.
