Old Sunset Timetable

[VentureForth]

Wow. Just asking for this is like asking for a schedule for the Hilltopper or one of those other old "Legacy" lines. But I'd like to see the timetable for the Sunset Limited just before Katrina. My friends are going to LA next year from Savannah. Train through DC and Chicago would take WAY too long. Flying is too expensive. Last alternative is driving, but that'll be quite a haul, too.

I know that the train from Jacksonville isn't really faster, but the convenience would be more than compensatory. Maybe.

I would if someone could explain how to past it in here.

What was a See-Level Lounge Car??

A See-Level Lounge car is what we know as a Sightseer.

See-Level Lounge Cars were ex-Santa Fe Hi-Level lounges. There are currently used as Pacific Parlor Cars.

Just want to point out that the timetable MrFSS posted is not one from just pre-Katrina.

In addition to the Sunset running to Miami in this TT, as opposed to Orlando, this schedule predates the 10+ hours of padding added too the schedule back in 2000-2001.

Ahh - ok. I didn't seem to recall that Jacksonville to LA could be done in 2 1/2 days. Wish it still could...

This is the last 1995 table published before Katrina hit Louisiana.
