Paul - That'll do it. No backhaul on the tri-levels to Voorheesville and POA. The GM move from Quebec was iffy, and I think Penn Central snagged a lot of them after about 1968. I remember going to St. Luc with the NJ crew one night and meeting the Penn Central job going to Adirondack Jct. with a bunch of tri-levels that could have gone D&H. I don't know where the D&H interchanged them when we had them. That BOX-1 was a Bingo-Oneonta Extra. He probably took the racks to Oneonta for OA-1. The tri-levels with no enclosure could barely clear Belden Tunnel, but as soon as they put roofs on them it was a different story.
