The New York Central ran from Saint Louis to New York, http://www.valleypass.com/Sales/NYC1.htm

Amtrak today runs that route from Saint Louis to Chicago on the Texas Eagle, http://www.valleypass.com/Sales/NYC1.htm and from Chicago through Indianapolis to New York on the Cardinal, http://www.amtrak.com/cardinal-train

Is this the same route as the Southwestern Limited?

Hi Jeff,

I can check, but I'm pretty sure the Southwestern Limited ran from Cleveland to St Louis... Conrail Indy route covers some of it

Hi Rick,

Thanks for checking. I found a site with a timetable for the Southwestern Limited at http://www.american-rails.com/sw-ltd.html

According to this timetable the train did not go through Chicago.

The Lake Shore Limited is the Amtrak train that follows the old Water Level Route from Chicago to NYC.
