Bill,
If the train was to Quincy, which side of the Mississippi did it run on?
The indications I have was that #1 had been cut back to Hannibal by then, but maybe it went further.

Larry,

In August, 1961, I rode a late evening train out of Cass Street station (freight  house? It was much of a facility!) to Quincy. As I remember, the train included several head end cars and one coach. On that date, it was pulled by Silver Charger, #9908. It was the only time that I ever rode behind it. Somewhere, I have some B&W photos taken at the station that evening. I don't recall whether it was Train #1 or not.

This train departed St. Louis Union Station around midnight.
Mostly baggage, storage mail, express and an RPO.
The timetable lists "coach, St. Louis-Burlington&qu ot;.
Before being discontinued without fanfare, I think that this was
one of the CB&Q trains that were moved to the Cass Street Station
on the northside of downtown St. Louis to avoid terminal and station
charges. Southbound the train was No. 12.
