Re: PC: Fw: (erielack) EL Power On PC Maybrook Trains

[Mark_Branibar@xxxxxxxxxxx]

To add more questions to this, many times the PC power ran straight through
to Port Jervis.  And some times the trains were solid PC power.  Besides PC
GE six-axle power, the ex-NH U25B's (2660-2685) also showed up in Port
Jervis on this train.

Hey guys,

A friend of mine sent me the following email, asking if I knew the
answer as to why PC power almost always led on the joint PC/EL trains
between Maybrook and Cedar Hill. I don't know why. Anyone know?

Thanks,
-JWJ
