Source: [1]The only named train operated by the L.I.R.R., the Cannonball first traveled these tracks in the 1890s as an express train between Long Island City and Southampton.
ALT1: ... that the Cannonball(pictured), a commuter train on the Long Island Rail Road, once operated exclusively with parlor cars? Source: [2]This summer it will have all-parlor car trains on the long runs to the twin tips of Long Island.; [3]...from May to October, the railroad runs the Cannonball Express, which McNamara called the only all-parlor-car train in the country.
Overall: for ALT1 as I think folks will want to click on parlor car and it meets the criteria. For ALT0, the name bit didn't really make me want to read more into it. I'm also not convinced that the source for ALT0 fully backs up the claim, as it says it's the only one known by a name, not necessarily that it is still known by the same name. Seems a bit synthy.

@Grk1011: Thanks for the review. There are a couple of other sources throughout the article indicating other named trains no longer run, plus the 2024 timetable and press release that mention the name, but I'm cool sticking with ALT1. Complex/Rational 14:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
