Randy,

Yes the OG is a wonderful resource.  I used to visit the CN Passenger 
Office in Buffalo during the late 1960's-early 1970's.  He gave me 
last months edition when the new one came in.  I have a bunch now 
from older time periods.  The only thing it doesn't do is always 
specify the type of sleeper etc.

My time period will be loosely 1965-1972 and based on Central 
Terminal in Buffalo.  It's done on the Holodeck so the LV Maple Leaf 
will still run along with the Phoebe Snow, Lake Cities, CN Turbo, etc.
