Note: There is a discrepancy in the timetables. The R. F. & P. timetable, which is dated March 17, 1971, shows the Silver Star departing Washington northbound  at 11:40 a.m. and arriving Philadelphia (30th St.) at 2:03 p.m. and New York at 3:45 p.m. Both the Penn Central and the Seaboard Coast Line timetables give the times shown here.
