Lake Shore Limited (New York Central Railroad train)
The ''Lake Shore Limited'' was a passenger train service operated by the New York Central Railroad between New York City and Chicago, Illinois, from 1897 to 1956. Separate sections linked to Boston and St. Louis. The ''Lake Shore Limited'' was the New York Central's first luxury passenger train, and paved the way for its more famous cousin the ''20th Century Limited''.〔 The 1897 name is now used by Amtrak's ''Lake Shore Limited'', which follows much the same route.〔
== History ==
The ''Lake Shore Limiteds immediate predecessor was the ''Exposition Flyer'' (not to be confused with a train of the same name operated between Chicago & Oakland, California, between 1939 and 1949), which the New York Central operated between New York and Chicago during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago.〔
The ''Lake Shore Limited'' began on May 30, 1897, with an advertised 24-hour schedule from New York to Chicago. A Boston section which connected at Albany, New York had a 26-hour schedule.〔 The ''Lake Shore Limiteds chief competitor was the Pennsylvania Railroad's ''Pennsylvania Limited'', which began in 1887.〔 The ''Lake Shore Limited'' carried the train numbers 19 (westbound) and 22 (eastbound).〔
The New York Central truncated the westbound ''Lake Shore Limited'' to Buffalo on July 15, 1956, and substituted the ''Great Lakes Aerotrain'' over the Chicago-Cleveland portion of the route. The eastbound ''Lake Shore Limited'' ended on October 28, 1956, as part of a system-wide reorganization.〔
