PASSENGER TRAINS - April, 1971
First Draft

This is a listing of US passenger trains which ran just before
Amtrak began in May, 1971.  It includes trains which ran at least
three days a week, but does not include seasonal, mixed or
commuter trains.  Trains which operated over more than one
railroad are listed only once, with a reference to other roads
which handled the train.  

I'd appreciate your assistance in assuring that this compilation
is accurate.  Please forward any corrections or comments to Paul
Moore at 71367.1057@Compuserve.com.
