Remarks:
Phoebe Snow�was a�fictional character�created by�Earnest Elmo Calkins�to promote the�Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. During World War I, anthracite was needed for the war effort and its use on railroads was prohibited, thus ending the career of Phoebe Snow. On November 15, 1949, the Lackawanna Railroad inaugurated a new streamlined passenger train named after its long-dormant promotional symbol. The Phoebe Snow ran on a daylight schedule between Hoboken, N.J., and Buffalo, N.Y., a trip of 396 miles, in about eight hours. The train was discontinued in 1966.
