My sister went back to Kentucky on that in 66...one coach....The reason why that route was choosen is that out of Boston you could no longer connect to the C&O George Washington in DC at that time. I am wondering why now my sister did not consider the PRR routing around Horseshoe. My sister's husband worked for the L&N and had a free pass so maybe that could of had something to do with it. Will never know the reason why now!!!!! |
