| Title: |
Not quite what I expected |
| Description: |
As I rode into Chicago on the Broadway-still on an all Pennsy route then-I got a look at the 14th St coach yard, where there was this surprise, a set of EL coaches. These had come off the Cleveland-Youngstown commuter train, which had come off in January 1977. Conrail was still running commuter trains in several places, one of them the ex PRR train out to Valparaiso, which these cars sometimes worked. In Jersey by this date, all the locomotive hauled trains had been converted to push pull, so these were the last EL through line cars to run on commuter trains. Too bad there wasnt a train out to Crown Point or so. These would have looked nice behind an E unit rolling through Griffith. Note the ex PRR P 70s at right, which were the standard equipment on the Valpo train. |
