Re: (erielack) What was the Shopper's Special...?
I don't know that having the train ahead of the Cutoff restoration is so
sad. It is wonderful that we have the train at all!! I agree, though, that
it is a testimony to political incompetence that a 1960's era train set can
be fully restored ahead of the line it ran on, even when the ROW is more or
less intact.
I'll give you this image, though, in honor of the EL anniversary: a pair of
EL E units notching out from Slateford Jct, picking up speed as they
approach Delaware River with the Lake Cities-I can hear the mellowness of
the 567's rev as they blow past on their way to Blairstown... 1968?? or
2008??
