Talk:Twin Star Rocket

Longest north-south train route?
Fact check:

Twin Star Rocket (Minneapolis-Houston): 1363 miles

Texas Chief (Chicago-Galveston): 1412.3 miles

South Wind (Chicago-Miami via PRR, L&N, ACL, FEC): 1559 miles

Silver Meteor (New York-Miami via PRR, RF&P, SAL): 1388.7 miles

Havana Special (New York-Key West via PRR, RF&P, ACL, FEC/Key West extension): 1523 miles

The Twin Star Rocket was one of the longest north-south routes under a single management, and may have been the longest such if you go by great circle distance and/or change in latitude. The statement needs to be revised. I may do it myself in a few days.-Ehbowen (talk) 02:17, 7 July 2009 (UTC) ETA - Done. Will get back with cites ASAP.
