Orphaned references in History of the Southern Pacific
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of the Southern Pacific's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "npr": From Portland, Oregon:  From Southern Pacific Transportation Company:  From World War I:  From Sprint Corporation:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:04, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Other ships in the Souther Pacific Steamship Line (Morgan Line)
I don't know how to edit a wikipage, so I'll just offer the following additional information.

There are other ships known to have been part of the Southern Pacific Steamship Line (Morgan Line), making regular passenger runs between New York and New Orleans. These include the S.S. Creole, S.S. Dixie, and S.S. Comus.

ref. advertisement in New-York Tribune (New York, NY) 15 Jan 1915, p.7 (available on newspapers.com). mentioning, "Steamship Creole leaves New York, February 10th; arrives New Orleans February 15th..."

ref: advertisement "Southern Pacific Company - Atlantic Steamship Lines (Morgan Lines)" advertisement, The Evening World (New York, NY) 7 May 1920, p26 (available on newspapers.com)., which mentions (Steamship Comus Sailes from Pier 48, North River at noon, May 8th." (New York to New Orleans)

ref: "Scotland Lightship" The New York Times 10 Aug 1915, p. 16 (available on newspapers.com) mentioning sighting of SS Comus. New Orleans to New York..."

Also ref. various postcard images online (eBay, and other places) for these ships, which include on the card New York and New Orleans destinations. 7254rrh (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
