There are Otto Perry photos in the Denver Public Library collection from 1937 which identify CB&Q train 43 as the Adventureland.  A 1935 photo identifies train 44 as the Vacation Special.  Later photos from 1938 identify train 44 as the General Custer.

My 1940 Burlington timetable says that a train called the Adventureland ran from Kansas City to Billings, where it met with GN and NP. According to Wikipedia, the train went by this name from 1837 to 1952.

I have another pre-war document that refers to a train on this route as the Vacation Special. Does anyone know what years the train went by this name? Did it follow the same route as the Adventureland?

Thanks,

Randal O'Toole
