Who said the east side of the Hudson only saw commuter trains? Here U25B 2564, U30B 2840, and an unidentified U33B hustle refers westbound out of New York City. Photo by Harv Kahn.

Sporting full, very clean, Penn Central paint, former Cleveland Union Terminal P-2b 4628 motor leads FL-9 5006 as they await a trip into the "Big Apple" in May 1971. These units were moved to the New York City area after the electrification in Cleveland was de-activated in the mid-1950's on the then New York Central. Collection of Dale A. DeVene Jr.

The painting crews obviously did a rush job on P-2b 4635 as they left off the large PC logo applied to these large electrics. But the crews managed to get the logo on the commuter car following the P-2b in this April 1971 photo at Croton-Harmon, NY. Collection of Dale A. DeVene Jr.
