          The naming convention of The East Coast Champion Newsletter was derived as follows:  On December 1, 1939, the Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) and the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad launched the all-coach "(The) Champion" streamliner service between New York and Florida.  The President of the ACL at the time was named Champion McDowell Davis, however, that is not where the train got its name.  The ACL sponsored a contest which was won by Betty Creighton, a secretary from Pittsburgh, who christened the "(The) Champion" at Washington, DC during its maiden southbound voyage.
