PC: Fw: (erielack) EL Power On PC Maybrook Trains

["Jerry W. Jordak" <jer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine sent me the following email, asking if I knew the 
answer as to why PC power almost always led on the joint PC/EL trains 
between Maybrook and Cedar Hill. I don't know why. Anyone know?

Thanks,
-JWJ
