THIS is the story of a train. Yet it already has become very much more than a single train; it now is a whole fleet of trains. For, in the autumn of 1929, the Twentieth Century Limited was expanded into a group of nine swift through expresses, each scheduled to make the run between New York and Chicago, over the lines of the New York Central Railroad, within the popular twenty-hour limit. A special section of the train-appropriately named the Advance Twentieth Century Limited-was placed upon the time tables to leave westbound at two o'clock each afternoon from New York; eastbound from Chicago at just noon. More recently this schedule has been readjusted so that the Advance Century now leaves New York at 1:45 p.m. ; Chicago at 11:40 a.m. Still other twenty-hour trains were added-the Commodore Vanderbilt most notable amongst all of these-until there are now not less than nine of these twenty-hour trains making the daily run between New York and Chicago; a fleet of long-distance expresses, which for speed and regularity of operation is not equalled by any other railroad in the entire world.
So it is that the Twentieth Century becomes, instead of a single train, a symbol of many trains, but all upon a single railroad system. Its high place remains unaltered, unchanged. It still is the queen of all American railroad trains; as such it has found and retains its niche in the hearts of all regular travelers.
