Editor Notes:
(1)
Under Potomac Yard, the table was presented in 2 sets of 3 columns, with colons as a vertical dividing line. This was clearly done only to fit the schedule onto one page. For clarity, this is not done here.
(2)
Indexing this train is very problematic. It is the only train with a hyphen between two letters, rather than between (a) letter(s) and (a) number(s). The schedule itself was filed with the As; however, in the index, the train is listed with the Bs, in fact, immediately before train B-6. Given that the trains have similar origins, destinations, and consists, I strongly suspect that A-B6 stands for "Advance B-6". Why the "1/" / "2/" nomenclature, as in "1/LCL-1", was not used, I do not know. I have chosen to continue indexing it as in the original.
