# Talk:Broadway Limited

need to cover this: On Oct. 31, 1994, the Broadway Limited began using Conrail's Youngstown line, a former PRR route, to reach Pittsburgh from New Castle.
As for timetable data, does that include the scheduled times or not? I've got them for 1958 and 1964, if that would help.--Foxhound 07:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Where would the consist go? I've got some data from either the 1950s or 1960s that would expand that area, so if anyone's got a policy-in-place, let me know.--Foxhound 04:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

It should go in the section entitled "Equipment used."--Lord Kinbote 04:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I think (under the 1958 Station Stops) someone is reading their 1958 timetable wrong. PRR generally put  "Hudson Terminal" in the timetables, but this was not through service by any stretch. Hudson Terminal was the Lower Manhattan loop terminal for the (eventually) PRR-owned Hudson and Manhattan Railroad. H&M's service was later taken up by the Port of New York Authority (now the PA of New York and New Jersey) as PATH, and Hudson Terminal was razed to make way for the World Trade Center. 
Hudson Terminal passengers would have had to transfer at Exchange Place to the cars that would be added to the Broadway Limited at Newark Penn, or ride the Hudson Tube trains all the way to Newark Penn and meet the Broadway Limited there. H&M trains then, just like PATH trains today, were strictly rapid-transit trains. I'm going to edit the statement in the main article, but I thought I should explain why.

Someone probably did read their '58 timetable wrong. I appreciate your detailed explanation here, 'cause otherwise, it'd be wrong, and we don't want that. Thanks for correcting my addition. --Foxhound 17:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to point out that as one who has actually taken this train, I can attest that the editors of this article have done quite a nice job. One thing that you may want to mention is that in the 1970s this was one of two New York-Chicago routes, the other being the Lake Shore Limited. The Broadway Limited was a few hours shorter. You boarded at about 5 pm and arrived in Chicago in the morning, usually several hours late. The Lake Shore Limited, which went north along the Hudson River (as in the film North by Northwest), took a few hours longer. There was Slumbercoach service on the Broadway Limited for a nominal fee, and one passed through what was then the steel mill area of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in the middle of the night, where one changed engines. Then one awoke in the corn fields of Indiana. Quite an experience. Wish I could contribute more than unusable original research to this. Coretheapple (talk) 00:48, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

A raw list of motive power, even if sourced, is probably unencyclopedic and inappropriate for this article. If it is included, it should be done as prose, within the existing Equipment section. See Rocky Mountain Rocket#Equipment for an example. Mackensen (talk) 17:39, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
