Viewing Album:  Penn Central
 
By:John Hepp
Dates:1/1/1973 - 12/31/1980
Album Info:Although a lot of rail buffs hated the PC, as a teen I thought the PC was not all bad. A clean, fully-lettered locomotive in black looked OK and the lines were no better under the late-PRR or NYC.

Penn Central 4211
Title:  Penn Central 4211
Description:  In post-Amtrak Penn Central days I seldom saw E units in the east (other than in Boston and North Jersey commuter service and I only visited Boston once).
