Lists of named passenger trains

(Redirected from Famous trains)

In the history of rail transport, dating back to the 19th century, there have been hundreds of named passenger trains. These have been organized into lists by geographical region. Trains with numeric names are spelled out. For example, the 20th Century Limited is listed as "Twentieth Century Limited".

Named trains are sometimes identified through a train headboard, drumhead, lettering on the locomotive or passenger cars,[1] or a combination of these methods.
