[edit] Reference for the gold record date?
Is there a reference to certify the date for the Gold Record status of this song? In a quick Google this morning, I've seen conflicting notations for this event listing both 1941 and 1942. The RIAA doesn't list it because it's 16-17 years before the organization started sponsoring the Gold Record award. slambo 14:55, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Seemingly Conflicting Information
In the main article "Chattanooga Choo Choo" it is stated near the end that "... and it should be further noted that it has never been possible to travel from New York to Chattanooga without changing trains at least twice."
Later in the section titled "Legacy" I noted the statement that "... but there were at least three other Southern Railway trains that ran through Chattanooga direct to Washington and on to New York without changing trains."
Unless New York City collected all these trains, it seems that there should have been a return trip available in like manner. Facetiousness aside, this is not absolutely necessary to have a return trip in like manner, but it seems likely that if a railroad saw a need for no-change service from Miami to New York, there would be a profitable need for a trip in the reverse direction. Can anyone enlighten me? 24.51.88.250 16:04, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
