The Atlantic Coast Line ran numerous passenger trains to and from Florida and the Southeast.
The "Florida Special" was a solid Pullman train to and from New York City and Miami. This section was referred to as the east coast section. By the 1940s' the schedule had been shortened to only 24 hours. The Boston-Washington section ran just behind the east coast section from Boston and Washington. It was all-Pullman south of Washington. The west coast section ran an hour behind to two above trains. This section ran with Pullmans and coaches.
The "Champion" ran as an all-coach train on a 25 hour schedule. This ran one hour later than the last section of the "Florida Special" and ran from New York to Miami via the Florida East Coast Railroad.
The "Vacationer" ran from the East to Florida as a super deluxe coach train. It ran via the Florida East Coast Railroad and was touted as just as good as the "Champion".
The "Miamian" was run from New York to Miami as an all-Pullman train of distinction.
All of these trains ran with superb service and were well liked by the Florida winter crowd.
