70th Anniversary |
| Description: |
The ERA ran a trip for the 70th Anniversary of the IRT, New Yorks first underground subway, on October 27 1974. As I recall, it ran with IRT Low-Vs, and covered all of the original IRT, starting at the Grand Central shuttle station, using the now out of service connection to the Lexington Av line, as well as some other lines. |

CR in NY State colors |
| Description: |
The funding for commuter trains following the start up of Conrail was convoluted. NY State put up a big pile of money via the MTA to keep the trains running, with Conrail the contract operator. Thus we got some FL 9s painted in the PC paint pattern, but in NYSDOT colors, lettered for Conrail. Heres one in Grand CenLual |

NYC side cash receipts |
| Description: |
The cash receipts for the Metro North trains, like their Jersey counterparts, except for now showing Conrail, looked largely like the PC forms they replaced. Here are cash tickets from the Hudson and Harlem Lines. Note the Harlem ticket: no Southeast, not even Brewster North, which was the name before Southeast, and the last stop is Dover Plains. It was a long way up there, and required a train change at Brewster. The line originally went to Chatham, where it connected with NYCs Boston & Albany, but was cut back in 1971 after the last PC train came off prior to Amtrak. The line was extended to Wassaic, but the rest is still empty roadbed, getting more and more treed in. |

New Yorkers will be familiar with the clock and winged messenger over the 42nd St entrance to Grand Central. I still think of the building behind it as the Pan Am Building. Some things just die hard. |
