What were the named New Haven trains that went to Florida and the South? Which car types would venture into the southern states? I’m assuming the New Haven cars would connect with either the RF&P or Southern at Washington’s Union Station.
From a 1956 Official Guide, Florida service was via the PRR, RF&P, ACL & FEC for the East and West Coast Champions. and via the Seaboard for the Silver Meteor.
Other service to the south included a connection to Nashville and Memphis off The Cincinnati Limited via the L&N.
