For auction is a passenger train timetable from Southern dated April 25, 1976. Southern initially declined to join other railroads in transferring their passenger service to the government entity Amtrak, and Southern operated its own passenger runs. At this time, Southern had four passenger trains: #1 and #2, the Southern Crescent (Washington-Atlanta-New Orleans); and #5 and #6, the Piedmont (Washington-Charlotte). An equipment manifest is provided for the Southern Crescent. There is connecting train information between Washington-New York and New Orleans-Los Angeles.
The timetable measures appx 8 3/4 x 4 inches closed, 8 3/4 x 8 inches opened, and is printed on medium-weight cardstock. It is in very good condition, with no rips, tears, writing or markings.
A nice collectible item for the Southern railfan.
