I am interesting in prototyping two trains: the Pioneer Zephyr on its 1934 route between Kansas City, MS and Lincoln, NE and the Flying Yankee on its 1935 route between Boston and Portland. I am having difficulty finding route maps or schedules on the internet and therefore can’t find the towns in which these two trains made stops. Does anyone know where I can get this information?
I know there are several good books on the Zephyrs, could check the Burlington Route Historical Society too, I think a few years ago they devoted an entire issue of the “Burlington Bulletin” to the Zephyrs.
Stations served by the Pioneer Zephyr between Kansas City and Lincoln were as follows.
Kansas Cty, Beverly (Leavenworth), Armour (Atchison), St. Joseph, Craig, Langdon, Hamburg, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Omaha and Lincoln. These were stops only.
The Flying Yankee made the following stops between Boston and Bangor.
Boston, Biddeford, Portland, Waterville, Pittsfield, Newport Junction, Northern Maine Junction and Bangor.
Hope this answers your questions.
Passangerfan, this is just the information that I needed. Thanks for the help.
When I have a little more time in the next day or two I will find the exact schedules for you.
