And I remember leaving Atlanta one night an hour late on the Crescent  
when it was still run by the Southern.

When we got to Lynchburg I woke up ... looked out ... looked at my  
watch.   My God, we were killing time waiting on the clock.    From  
then on we were on time ... to the minute in Charlottesville,  
Alexandria, Washington, Baltimore, Wilmington, 30th St. Philadelphia.
