Royal Palm
"Royal Palm": A Floridian Vacationer's Train
Last revised: August 25, 2024
By: Adam Burns
The Royal Palm was one of the earliest named passenger trains to
serve the Midwest-Florida market. From the beginning the Southern
provided top-notch service with the train and while it predominantly
operated mostly over home rails, south of Jacksonville, Florida
the Florida East Coast carried the Palm into Miami.
The earliest version of the train always carried run-through sleepers from the New York Central. However, to keep up with demand the Southern also started a seasonal, spinoff service known as the New Royal Palm.
Despite being streamlined this train had a short lifespan and was discontinued after only a few years. The original Royal Palm carried on within the Southern's fleet for many years.
Through the 1960's services were reduced and when the train was discontinued, just a little over a year before Amtrak, it is essentially a coach-only affair.

History and Route
The Southern's Royal Palm has a history which dates back to November, 1913. Even during its earliest days the train still operated with run
through equipment owned by the NYC and worked in conjunction
with the FEC to Miami.
In the 1920s, the train was upgraded with
heavyweight cars and sleepers and continued to maintain top level
service for Floridian travelers.
Interestingly, during the 1930s
and early 1940s, when the streamliner era was in full swing, the Royal Palm maintained its heavyweight status and steam power.
The Southern would have likely upgraded the train
during the early '40s if it was not for the World War II conflict that
caused new construction to be suspended.
The train retained this heavyweight status nearly until 1950. Directly after the war, the Southern placed orders with the Budd Company for new equipment for the Palm, as well as new diesel locomotives from Electro-Motive.

Additionally, the railroad decided to inaugurate another train over the
route, the seasonal New Royal Palm which would operate only during the wintertime (which resulted in the Palm losing its streamlined status and operated heavyweights until the summer season returned).
Both trains departed from Cincinnati Union Terminal to much fanfare on December 17, 1949. The Southern spent a great deal of effort marketing the new train with advertisements like:
"Are you planning a trip? Take the luxurious, winter season, streamlined train New Royal Palm to Atlanta, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago, Toledo, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Toronto."

The standard New Royal Palm featured a consist that included
coaches, a diner-lounge, sleeper, and a sleeper-buffet-lounge
observation.
At Cincinnati the train would pick up its through sleepers owned by the New York Central, which typically came from regional trains the Michigan Special and Ohio Special.
These additional cars included sleepers, of course, as well as lounges and coaches. Of note, the Southern also operated another train on the same route as both the Palm and New Royal Palm, the Ponce de Leon. This train began operations in 1924 and ran a reversed schedule of its two counterparts.
The train always operated with heavyweight equipment and was finally pulled from service in the mid-1960s. The interiors of both Palms featured classic Floridian scenes helping to invoke the sense of warm weather, white sands, and sunny skies.

Perhaps the most impressive feature of each train was the
sleeper-buffet-lounge observation. These cars were built by
Pullman-Standard and featured a split-level design with large rear
windows
that was somewhat unique within the industry.
Passengers were also
treated to incredibly scenic views through the Appalachians when
traveling south of Cincinnati as the trains passed through the
Southern's famed "Rathole Division" (Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific) to Chattanooga, so-named for the
numerous tunnels spread out along the line.
Consist (1952)
From a scheduling standpoint the Palm was able to cover the route between Cincinnati and Jacksonville in just under 20 hours (roughly 820 miles); after departing Cincinnati at 8:30 A.M., arrival time in Jacksonville was usually at 4:05 A.M. the following day.
From that point the FEC carried the train the final 366 miles in about 7 hours arriving in Miami by around 11:25 A.M. that same day.
Southern F3A #6704 is tied down with what's left of the "Royal Palm" at Valdosta, Georgia on October 11, 1966. American-Rails.com collection.
Final Years
While Southern was highly regarded for its level of service it was not
immune to the rapid decline of rail travel during the 1950s.
By 1955, after just six years of service, the Southern pulled the New Royal Palm from its timetable and applied all of its equipment to the Palm.
By 1960 the Palm lost its NYC through sleepers as well as
its connections with the FEC to Miami (the train now terminated at
Jacksonville).
By 1967 the train was all but dead; while still on the timetable
Southern only operated it as a coach-only run between Cincinnati and
Atlanta, long gone were the days of full service and on-board meals.
Ultimately, the train would not survive Amtrak's start as the Southern
canceled it entirely by January 31, 1970.
