Additional Details:
The Twentieth Century Limited, operating on Lake Shore & New York Central lines, was the fastest long-distance train. Introduced in 1902 on a 20-hour schedule, it was updated in 1904 to an 18-hour schedule. It offered modern hotel conveniences including porters, maid, tailor, shave, and bath with sea salt. The train was electric lighted throughout, providing luxury for modern travel.
