Chicago Night Express
The ''Chicago Night Express'' was an American named train of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) on its route between Wheeling, West Virginia and Chicago, Illinois with major station stops in Newark, Ohio and Willard, Ohio. The B&O inaugurated the ''Chicago Night Express'' in 1912. It was discontinued in 1956 due to declining passenger demand.
==History==
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was chartered in 1827 and grew to be one of the largest passenger railways in the United States, often by acquiring other, smaller railroads. B&O trains began operating between Wheeling and Chicago in 1880.〔
From 1912 until 1956 the B&O provided overnight sleeping car service between Wheeling, West Virginia and Chicago's Grand Central Station on the ''Chicago Night Express'', Train No. 45.〔 The reverse route, Train No. 46, was served by the ''Wheeling Night Express'' or the ''West Virginia Night Express'', as it was later known. During World War II, the ''Chicago Night Express'' was consolidated with Train No. 9, the ''Pittsburgh-Chicago Express'' on the western end of the run from the junction at Willard, Ohio to Chicago. In 1946, the ''Chicago Night Express'' resumed independent operation from Willard to Chicago.〔
