Description

You never knew what you would see watching trains in Griffith, Indiana. Here is a late Erie-Lackawanna Phoebe Snow about to hit the crossing. Pitiful consist... a single E-unit, one baggage car, 2 coaches, a diner and a car of mail tacked on the back. Not varnish anymore.

Two years earlier, in the background at Chicago's Dearborn Street Station this same train had 2 units on it.

Although it was soaked up into Conrail by the time I was aware of it, the EL is still a favorite road. Spent some time on the old R-O-W at Griffith by here helping get an out of service diner road-worthy again, too. One of the best post-war paint schemes!
