Broadway Limited Remains Late On 75th Anniversary Run
On its 75th anniversary the Broadway Limited crawled into Chicago two and a half hours late after a 21 hour journey from New York and Washington. Passengers lingered in parlor cars, others traded stories of rail glory, and observers noted the line’s long tradition and fading era as crews rebuilt tracks through Altoona and Lima. Maurice Graham, King of the Hoboes, autographed sketches for young admirers while Ruth Hume and her daughters sampled foods from New York to Charleston aboard the revived historic train.
