Issue 57/58 - 2001

When former TRRA and L&N employee Walter Simms volunteered some words about L&N operations in the St. Louis area just before and after World War II, it was an excellent time to check all the photo sources and do as much research as possible concerning freight and passenger operations of the L&N in the St. Louis area.

Admittedly, the L&N passenger traffic out of St. Louis was not that heavy - suficient enough that only one overnight train was necessary for the fifteen or so plus years before Amtrak.

While the stories of the ill-fated Golden Rocket and the Chessie have been told over and over again, the story of the Georgian, a marketing man's mis-step if ever there was one, hasn't been discussed. The few publications dealing with L&N passenger trains focus on the Cincinnatti-New Orleans Pan-American, and the Georgian is but a footnote.

The story of the locally owned Royal Street brings the L&N story full circle. The L&N's downtown ticket offices, first at 318 North Broadway, later moved to 322 North Broadway on August 1, 1955, are both long gone and the rehabbed buildings all but unrecognizable.

This issue is 48 pages.
