Remarks & Notes

Penn Central train 62 between Chicago and New York was the nameless successor to the New York Central's Twentieth Century Limited and the ancestor of Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited. On a hazy summer morning, an imposing ex-NYC P2b electric sped a lengthy consist that included sleepers from Detroit and Toronto as well as Chicago through Mount St. Vincent station in the northernmost Bronx, 13 miles from Grand Central Terminal.
