Remarks & Notes

On a hazy summer morning two years before Amtrak, Penn Central train 81 between New York and Albany comes off the Harlem River lift bridge and enters the Bronx behind an ancient-looking P2b electric of New York Central and Cleveland Union Terminal heritage. This photo was taken from the platform of the now-gone 138th Street commuter station, a great train-watching spot at the time.
