EQUIPMENT

No. 177—Mon. thru Sat.—Sleeping Car Boston to Washington

No. 176Daily.—Sleeping Car Washington to Boston (Except Saturday.)

Please note that the apparent discrepancy in days of operation between the timetable and the equipment listing is due to the fact that the equipment listing appears on the New York to Washington timetable page. As No. 177 passes New York after midnight, while it leaves Boston Sun-Fri it operates New York-Washington Mon-Sat in the early morning hours.
