Probably the least heralded Nickel Plate long-distance trains were the Cleveland - St. Louis Nos. 9/10. Inaugurated February 19, 1928, the trains went unnamed until October 28, 1956, when they became the Blue Arrow (westbound) and the Blue Dart (eastbound). The only Nickel Plate passenger trains to operate over all three predecessor railroads, Nos. 9/10 ran on the New York, Chicago & St. Louis, the Lake Erie & Western, and the Clover Leaf. Consequently, Nos. 9/10 were the last scheduled Nickel Plate passenger trains to operate on the Clover Leaf and the Lake Erie & Western. NKP #9 "Blue Arrow" last arrival in STL and #10 "Blue Dart" last departure STL on 3-14-59. *Over on the St. Louis - Cleveland route, the unnamed trains 9/10 received names beginning October 28, 1956; westbound was named the BLUE ARROW and its eastbound counterpart was named the BLUE DART. The westbound BLUE ARROW made its final run March 13, 1959, and the following day, the eastbound BLUE DART made its final run. 3/21/1959 Trains 9/10 discontinued in Indiana 10/17/1959. Last runs in Ohio for Trains 9/10 known as the Blue Arrow and Blue Dart. *Blue Arrow: (Cleveland - St. Louis) – Blue Dart: (St. Louis - Cleveland) VII_Elwood_Passenger_Trains.docx � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
