|} The ''Whippoorwill'' was a short-lived passenger train operated by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad (C&EI) between Chicago, Illinois and Evansville, Indiana. The C&EI introduced the ''Whippoorwill'' in 1946 as a day train supplement to the express streamliners it operated in conjunction with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N). The ''Whippoorwill'' was one of the first new streamliners introduced after World War II, with completely new equipment delivered by Pullman-Standard. A C&EI advertisement in ''Trains'' magazine touted the "ultra-modern chair car accommodations" and "latest type passenger Diesel locomotives."〔; 70〕 The train's original consist, as delivered by Pullman-Standard, included the following cars: A famous publicity photograph, which the C&EI used long after the train's discontinuance, showed a single EMD E7 locomotive (#1102), leading these seven cars which made up the train's original consist. The photograph was colorized to accentuate the train's purple and yellow color scheme. The northbound train (#4) departed Evansville at 7:00 am and arrived in Chicago's Dearborn Station at 12:20 pm. The train then returned south (as #3) at 5:30 pm, arriving in Evansville at 10:50 pm.〔 The C&EI discontinued the ''Whippoorwill'' in 1948 after the L&N began running a section of the ''Georgian'' to Chicago over a similar schedule. The C&EI re-assigned the ''Whippoorwills equipment to the ''Georgian'' and the ''Humming Bird'' until finally selling most of it to the Illinois Central in the early 1960s.〔 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whippoorwill (train)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
