Admiral (train)
The ''Admiral'' was a named passenger train of the Pennsylvania Railroad and its successor Penn Central which operated between Chicago, Illinois and New York City. The ''Admiral'' began on April 27, 1941, when the Pennsylvania renamed the eastbound ''Advance General''. The new train was eastbound-only until a year later on April 26, 1942, when the Pennsylvania added a westbound counterpart. The ''Admiral'' carried both sleepers and coaches plus a diner.〔 After World War II the Pennsylvania put the ''Admiral'' on a 17-hour schedule between Chicago and New York along with the ''Broadway Limited'', ''Trail Blazer'', ''General'' and ''Pennsylvanian''. At the time the ''Admiral'' carried transcontinental sleeping cars which it exchanged in Chicago with the ''California Zephyr'' and other California-bound trains. Mounting losses on its passenger operations led the Pennsylvania to reduce service on the ''Admiral''. From April 29, 1956, onwards the ''Admiral'' operated as a local, making more intermediate stops with a longer overall running time. The westbound train ended altogether in 1958. The remaining eastbound ''Admiral'' lost its dining car in 1966 and the last of its sleeping cars in 1967, leaving it with mail and express cars, coaches and a snack bar. The eastbound ''Admiral'' remained after the merger of the Pennsylvania with the New York Central Railroad and was discontinued on the formation of Amtrak on May 1, 1971.〔
