Sunshine Special

Sunshine Special

The "Sunshine Special" was inaugurated by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad (Missouri Pacific Railroad) on December 5, 1915, to provide a premium level of passenger train service between St. Louis, Little Rock, and destinations in Texas. Until being shifted into a secondary role by the "Texas Eagle" diesel powered streamliner in August 1948, the "Sunshine Special" served as the flagship of Missouri Pacific Railroad's passenger train service. The last vestige of the "Sunshine Special" name did not disappear from Missouri Pacific timetables until 1962.
