The Southern also had a
named train the Prince Albert Special which left Winston-Salem
at 2:00pm and made connections at Barber for Louisville, Cincinnati
, Memphis & New Orleans.

In the 60's, Southern had a train which left Winston around
10:30 PM known in Charlotte simply as "the cigarette train".
It was supposed to arrive Charlotte in time to make No. 155.
On one trip, the crew had to set out a hot box near Mocksville
and when the mechanical people came to re-brass it, they
found the cigarettes were gone and the journal box had been
filled with sand.
