In addition to the ones already shown here, I am grateful to Ellery Goode for contributing more than 30 other timetables. I was going to present them in alphabetical order, but it makes more sense to group them by geography. Since I did the Atlantic Coast Line yesterday, I’ll do other southeastern railroads first, followed by New England railroads, then other eastern railroads, south central railroads, midwestern railroads, and finally western railroads.

It seems appropriate to follow the Atlantic Coast Line with Louisville & Nashville, which had been controlled by ACL since 1902. ACL did not own 100 percent of the stock in L&N, however, and allowed the latter company to operate with little oversight. The two did cooperate such as by running through passenger trains between the Midwest and Florida including (in this timetable) the Georgian, Dixie Flyer, Dixieland, Southland, South Wind, and Flamingo.

L&N probably considered the streamlined Hummingbird as well as the partially streamlined Pan American to be its premiere trains as they ran on its own tracks all the way from Cincinnati to New Orleans. But as a mark of its independence L&N also operated through passenger trains with ACL rivals Seaboard Air Line and Southern Railroad. The Gulf Wind went over L&N tracks between New Orleans and Chattahoochee and Seaboard tracks between Chattahoochee and Jacksonville. L&N also ran sections of the Southern Railway’s Crescent and Piedmont between New Orleans and Montgomery.
