The 1936 Million Dollar Rexall Streamlined Train

Timeline for the 1936 Million-Dollar Rexall Streamlined Train

This timeline is very much a work-in-progress. Much of what appears here was gleaned from Larry Thomas' fine and exhaustive article on the Rexall Train appearing in the TRRA of St. Louis' magazine, Summer 2000. Frank Sternad, an avid collector of Rexall memorabilia, also contributed immeasurably to the research here, much of it in his blog about the Rexall Train starting in 2017. Beginning in 2022, Brad Knapp added a fantastic amount of newspaper-of-the-day research. It appears that, as the train became quite famous, more Rexall druggists would lobby to have the train stop in their town -- which it often did, if only for a morning or afternoon display before moving on. The eventual list of display cities went well over the 147 that were planned when the train left Boston. Finally, though the Rexall Train never displayed in the state of Nevada, it was, according to Brad Knapp's 2022 newspaper research, routed through Nevada in late May due to a tunnel fire in northern California that sent the train to Oregon via Reno - thus making the Rexall Train the first train to operate in every state of the Union (48 at the time).

*	1	Boston, MA	March 28, 1936	S	*	*	The train departed Boston March 29, 1936 on an eight-month 29,000 mile tour with 147 planned display stops in the US and Canada, 109 of those in conjunction with druggists' conventions held on the train. Public inspection 9:00 - 12:00.

1	2	Portland, ME	March 30, 1936	M	10:30 - 12:15 & 2:30 - 4:30	*	Displayed at Portland Union Station. When the train departed aftern an overnight stay, it transited Massachusetts via the Boston & Albany RR, in reaction to flooding along its intended route. The intended routing had been Boston & Maine to Mechanicville, NY, Delaware & Hudson to Binghamton, NY, Erie Railroad to Youngstown, OH and Baltimore & Ohio to Wheeling, WV.
*	*	Syracuse, NY	March 31, 1936	T	*	*	The train stopped in Syacuse on its way to Wheeling. It was in Syracuse 6 hours later than expected, due to flooding along its intended route. The stop is noted for having occured at 6:30PM, with no public viewing of the train. The train would return to Syracuse in September for a longer stay. Leaving Syracuse, the exact routing is unconfirmed, but the train likely stayed on the Boston & Albany RR to Ashtabula, OH before swinging south on the NYC to Youngstown, OH and then the B&O RR for the final leg to Wheeling.

*	*	Shasta County, CA	May 24, 1936	Su	*	*	According to the May 26 edition of the Santa Rosa Republican (California newspaper) and the May 27 edition of the Roseburg, OR News-Review (newspaper) a tunnel fire on the Southern Pacific on May 24 between Lamoine and Delta (just south of Dunsmuir, CA) caused all northbound trains to be routed through Reno on their way to Oregon - including the Rexall Train. These newspaper articles were (re)discovered in 2022 by Brad Knapp, and they rewrite the book on the 1936 Rexall Train and the 1947 Freedom Train (previously thought by many researchers - including your editor - to be the first trainset to operate in every state of the Union - 48 at the time).
46	29	San Francisco, CA	May 25, 1936	M	10:30 - 12:15 & 2:30 - 9:00	*	At San Francisco the words "The Rexall Train" were stenciled on the locomotive's nose on May 25. The stenciling remained that way for the rest of the tour.

X	X	Reno, NV	X	X	X	X	A stop in Reno seems to be depicted on some early route maps, with no particular date indicated, but the train never displayed in Nevada. It did, however, pass through Reno on its way from Sacramento to Eugene, Oregon due to a tunnel fire in northern California. This rerouting sent the train into Nevada - the one state that the train would have missed, were it not for the tunnel fire.
X	X	Alturas, CA	May 28, 1936	Th	X	X	Because of a May 24 tunnel fire and cave-in on the SP main line between LaMoine and Delta, 23 miles south of Dunsmuir, the Rexall Train was re-routed May 28 over Donner Summit. It then traveled through Reno/Sparks to Fernley where the train headed north via Tule Mountain back into California—to Wendel in Lassen Co. and Alturas in Modoc Co. via SP’s light-roadbed Alturas cutoff. The Rexall locomotive arrived alone at Alturas, CA about 12:50pm on the 28th for servicing and water (engineer was Buster Blurton), while the coaches arrived 2 hours later, drawn by two lighter helper engines, and recoupled to the Rexall locomotive. The train departed 3:30pm, arriving at Klamath Falls at 7:30 pm (4 hrs and 98 miles from Alturas) via Fernley & Lassen RR (SP Modoc Northern route), and ultimately at Eugene, OR.
X	X	Grants Pass, OR	May 28, 1936	Th	X	X	Stop canceled due to delay caused by the tunnel fire near Dunsmuir, CA.
X	X	Roseburg, OR	May 28, 1936	Th	X	X	Stop canceled due to delay caused by a tunnel fire and collapse near Dunsmuir, CA, between Lamoine and Delta. This resulted in rerouting of all trains around the problem area - to the east, through Reno, NV until service was restored June 2.
48	*	Eugene, OR	May 29, 1936	F	12:30AM - 1:30AM	*	During its detour, the Mohawk locomotive ran ahead of the train on Southern Pacific's Alturas Cutoff due to weight concerns. The train was pulled by two lighter locomotives at 5 mph. A short 1-hour stop followed an 00:30 arrival in Eugene (just after midnight), necessary to make up time. Note that the train was originally scheduled to arrive in Eugene at 9:30PM on the 28th for a one hour stop. Still, the local paper said 1000 people showed up in Eugene to see the train.
