Greg:
 
You are correct, December 1964, page 44.  I pulled up my Trains CD and  
there it is.
 
It's been quite a while since I read the article.  I was fascinated to  see 
who the engineer was, A.C. (Buddy) Phelps.  Since my Phelps ancestors  
mostly hail from tidewater North Carolina and Virginia, he may be a distant (or  
even not-so-distant) cousin.  My brother is  the genealogy person in  our 
family, I'll ask him to check it out.

I believe that was the December 1964 issue, as I recall. I may still have  
it buried in a box of magazines somewhere. It's been a few years  since I've 
seen it.

There was also a neat article in Trains titled "Man in a Hurry"  sometime 
in the 1960's on the run across the dismal swamp before the October  1959 run 
to Williamson. Don't remember the year or issue but it gives a  superb 
account of that run at 90-100 mph as I remember, when D.P. Morgan was  editor of 
Trains.
