Ottawa to Chigaco
This page is part of Henry’s USA Rail Trip.
Sunday August 24th 1958
Henry travelled to Chicago on a train that left Ottawa at 3:30pm and arrived in Chicago at 8:10am – a journey time of just under 17 hours. The images below show the wonderful 1950s front and back covers of Henry’s Canadian Pacific timetable, along with the timetable page showing Henry’s train (outlined in red). Although the part of the journey through Canada was operated by Canadian Pacific and the part of the journey through the USA was operated by the New York Central System, the coaches were “through coaches” and he did not have to change train at the border.
