(erielack) This date in EL history - 1971



On Thursday, January 21, 1971, the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad put 
its first diesel-hauled "push-pull" train into service on the Erie 
Main Line.  New Jersey was buying 105 cars from Pullman-Standard and 
23 locomotives from General Electric.

The new PATH cars also received cross seats.  The new World Trade 
Center PATH Terminal was slated to open in the summer of 1971 and for

several months, it had been possible to see where the new terminal 
tracks joined the present tubes.

From NEW YORK DIVISION BULLETIN, February, 1971, pages 2 and 8.
