N&W/Southern thru passenger service

[NW Mailing List]

The Crescent was a Thru train of the PRR and Southern.  PRR handled DC to New York and Southern handled it from DC to New Orleans via Atlanta.  Some routings during its career took the train over the Atlanta and West Point but I can't right now tell you where that route went, Atlanta to somewhere in Mississippi.  

The Birmingham Special and Tennessean were the two name trains handled by the N&W.
