I'm curious how that compared to what the NYC was running to Chicago?

Frank,

Taber includes a brief description of the "Pioneer" on p227 and 229.  Some
additional info can be found on page232 in the comparison of the 1936 and
1954 schedules.

Briefly, the "Pioneer", symboled HC-1 replaced #19 6/24/1946 on a 9 hour,
55
minute schedule to Buffalo and transfer to the Nickel Plate for a 33 hour
schedule to Chicago.  By deduction, the train left Hoboken at 7 PM,
Cleveland at 1PM next day and Chicago 4AM the day after.
