Hi Paul,

Unfortunately, I don’t find a plethora of photographs of trains 3 and 4 in the book. I guess they weren’t an oft pair. I spotted three: #4 at Youngstown on My 30, 1967, on the bottom of page 50, #3 16 Waverly in July 1967 on the top of page 60, and #3 at Youngstown on February 18, 1968, on the bottom of page 66. The last one has a clear view of the consist, taken from the rear facing forward. I don’t see any REA containers. In the first two photos, I really can’t tell.

Steve Timko’s “Trackside Around Youngstown 1962-1982 with Dave McKay also has a shot of the last #3 at Youngstown on February 18, 1968, on the top of page 29 - strictly a head end view.

I don’t hare any eastern region timetables from 1967. The April 24, 1966, NY & Scranton Divisions ETT shows #3 departing Hoboken at 12:15am and #4 arriving Hoboken at 9:50pm, with the note that “Mo. 4 may depart any station in advance of time if all traffic has been delivered and received.” The October 29, 1967, Susquehanna, Buffalo, Mahonig, and Marion Divisions ETT shows #4 departing Chicago at 9:15pm and #3 arriving Chicago at 2:00am. Both trains carry the notes about departing stations ahead of time on the Marion and Susquehanna division. The Mahonig division restricted #3 to departing any station west of CB Junction in advance, and #4 to departing any station west of Salamanca in advance. I’ve scanned the relevant ETT pages and have attached them here.

Thanks Vinnie. In that color book, what is the latest dated photo of the REA containers? Also, in the ’67 ETT, what are the Hoboken and Chicago times for 3&4?

Paul and Mike.



The October 1967 Western Region ETT still shows 3 & 4. They are gone from the April 1968 ETT. According to John Boehner’s book: Erie Lackawanna Through Passenger Service in Color, the last train 3 ran on February 18, 1968.
