The lastest TRP Magazine has a large PC article called "Glorious Yes this was a very good series of articles. Really shows why the
Penn Central was very interesting to watch. I was a teenager when the PC
disappeared but I am glad that I was able to spend a lot of time in my hometown
watching Penn Central.
The article really showed that the Penn Central was a lot more than dirty
diesels and slow trains. Back in 1975, in Tyrone, PA, the railroad hauled an
awful lot of frieght....it certainly did not look bankrupt.
I miss the ore trains, the varied coal trains, piggy back trains, mixed
freight trains, 40' boxcars, clean fallen flag boxcars, GP35s, and green
cabooses!
