The Twilight
The Westerner
The Owl
Interstate Express
Pocono Express
The New Yorker
New York Mail
Merchants Express
and one without a name, No. 44-46
The Lackawanna went as far west as Buffalo and did not run to Chicago, but routes are shown and times listed for "Through Connections" to points west and south of Buffalo including Chicago. The Through Connections used the Nickel Plate Road, New York Central System and Canadian Pacific Railroad.
