In October 1950, No. 3 was scheduled to depart St. Louis at 7:22am, Poplar Bluff at 12:40pm, arriving Little Rock at 5:45pm, after making many stops en route.

      Note: car 88232 does not appear in the 1950 or 1951 ORPTE. It is unknown whether this was a standard MP boxcar, or whether numbers were transposed. The MP box express series was 88300-88324.
