Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Apr 25 13:34:38 2009, in response to Re: More trains on the CNJ main in Elizabeth, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Apr 25 12:31:12 2009. These pics rock. Nothing from this era I've seen has been of this high quality.Now why can't everyone's reaction be exactly like that . . . ?  Sad that some people are impervious to the pix themselves, and instead latch on to my entirely-accurate description of that corridor at the time, "[t]he other NEC".The Crusader was certainly one of the fastest trains on that corridor (top speed 90 mph); those cars in the pic are part of the original five-car consist, air-conditioned, obs cars on each end, and at the time that pic was taken, only 19 years old . . . the FP7s had replaced the streamlined Pacifics only five years before that shot (which was too bad, since the tenders of the G1sa Pacifics wrapped around the obs cars to magnify the streamlined effect). |
