B&O Celebrates 40th Birthday Os Capitol Limited Monday in his o ff i c e at Nappanee, Mayor Ralph Greene was presented with a birthday cake embossed to read, “B & O’s Capitol Limited, 40th Anniversary, May 1923-1963.” D. W. Anglin, Ticket Agent, made the presentation. Mayors in other towns and cities along the route of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s nationally-fa-mous passenger train, on°rating between Baltimore-Washington and Chicago, received cakes in token of the 40 years’ service which the train has rendered to the people of their communities. When the Capitol was placed in service on May 13, 1923, it was widely hailed as one of America’s finest trains, providing accomodations for travel “in the grand manner.” It was the first all-Pullman train between Baltimore-Washing-ton and Chicago, affording the ultimate of the day in comfort and regal splendor. Its sleeping, club, observation and dining cars were richly carpeted, with plush upholstery and other appointments designed to give the passenger a feeling of elegance throughout his journey. The train provided the facilities of a shower bath and, for male passengers, the services of a barber offering a shave for 25c, a haircut for 50c and other tonsorial services at a comparable price range. Ladies traveling on the Capitol found there was a competent maid aboard to assist them with dressing and the care of children. The maid was also a skilled “manicure,” as the railroad’s promotional literature of the day described her. In her black uniform, with crisp white apron and cap, she performed this service for men and women, for a charge of 75c. Valet service to provide for the pressing of suits, dresses or coats, was also available aboard the train. Train secretaries took dictation from businessmen, typed letters and transmitted telegrams en route. Passengers using the Capitol Limited’s observation platform in chilly weather had but to touch a button for a porter to wrap them in lap robes for comfort, while enjoying the magnificent mountain scenery along the train’s route through the historic Potomac Valley. The cuisine offered by the Capitol Limited’s dining cars was famed nation-wide. Choice foods prepared to the gourmet’s taste by the train’s skilled chefs were served with finesse by hand-picked waiters. Passengers could enjoy a five-course dinner for $1.25, with a choice of seven or eight entrees. The old-world courtesy of Capitol Limited waiters, porters and other crewmen became a tradition synonomous with the train itself.

Asa result, the Capitol Limited quickly came to be a favorite of senators, congressmen, movie and theatre stars, prominent businessmen and other dignitaries traveling between Baltimore-Washington and the West. The Capitol made railroad history in other ways, too. It was the first train between BaltimoreWashington and Chicago to be completely air-conditioned, in 1932, and the first to be operated by dieselelectric locomotives in 1937, with the sultry Alabama-born actress, Tallulah Bankhead, presiding at diesel christening ceremonies held in Washington Union Station. While many of its earlier service features, such as ‘hose performed by the barber, valet, manicurist and train secretary, have given way to the changing tastes and demands of the traveling public, the air of elegance which characterized the train in its earlier days has remained. Courteous service is still a by-word among crewman trained to regard it as a tradition to be preserved. And, through the years, equipment has been supplanted with that of more modern vintage. The Capitol Limited provides the only Stratadome service in the East, affording passengers the opportunity

Slumbercoach service, offering private room sleeping accomodations at coach fare, plus a low space charge, is in heavy demand. Another example of how Capitol Limited service has been adapted to meet the 4 demands of modern travelers was the recent voluntary slowing of the train’s schedule by the B & O, to give passengers a smoother, more pleasant ride, particularly in mountainous areas. This move, instigated by the road’s realistic president, Jervis Langdon, Jr., was called by Time Magazine, “a move back to the old values of comfort and contemplation” in travel.
