Ken Miller is correct.  In checking a 1937 N&W timetable the Memphis Special
is the only Southern train which could be photographed in the Roanoke
vacinity in daylight.  Both the Birmingham Special (17-18) and the New York,
Chattanooga and New Orleans Limited (41-42) passed through Roanoke either
after dark or very early in the morning.  The new streamlined Tennessean
replaced the Memphis Special on much the same schedule except eastbound its
Roanoke stop was about 3 hours earlier in the afternoon.  Number 41-42 was
renamed The Pelican in the late 1940's.
