Cincinnati Limited
Template:Short description Template:Italic title Template:Infobox rail service The Cincinnati Limited was a named train of the Pennsylvania Railroad; the train traveled from New York City's Pennsylvania Station to the Cincinnati Union Terminal. It was a rival to New York Central's Ohio State Limited. The Cincinnati Limited carried connecting sleeping cars to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad's Cincinnati to New Orleans Pan American.[1][2] By the mid-1950s, the sleeper extension on L&N lines ended at Memphis instead of New Orleans.[3][4]
The train was sustained into the era of the Penn Central, the successor of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Both the Cincinnati Limited and the Pan American ended service on April 30, 1971, as passenger trains moved over to Amtrak.
Stations west of Harrisburg
The train ran at limited stations from Pittsburgh to Columbus, in comparison to the PRR's Penn Texas which bypassed most of them.[5]
