This summertime fast luxury train began in the late 1920s running from Halifax to Yarmouth where it connected with New York steamships. It made possible a travel time between New Yorkad and Halifax of 32 hours, faster than any other train or steamship service. The New Yorker joined the long established Flying Bluenose summer only train which served Boston steamers at Yarmouth. The New Yorker outlasted the Flying Bluenose and appears to have run until wartime cut into the American tourism market about 1941.
The Yarmouth to Halifax eastbound New Yorker was Train No. 26.
The Halifax to Yarmouth westbound New Yorker was Train No. 25.
