Midnight Special questions: think I read that this train normally ran with two Pullman cars and that one car might be at Union Station and another on the house track at Boulevard Station. I guess the train stopped around 1:15 AM and picked up the Pullman at Boulevard. Questions: how early could passengers board, was there a porter assigned to the car(s) to welcome the early boarders (I assume the conductor would be on the train out of Indy), where did the steam for heating the car(s) in winter come from (I’m sure they had electrical service), and were there problems with misbehaving passengers? I can see passengers boarding early with nothing to do but drink, etc.. I think this whole concept is interesting…but apparently not popular as the train was cancelled in 1945.
