The Erie Lackawanna lines out of Hoboken were a time warp, although elsewhere in New Jersey not much had changed either. What made the EL trains special was that, except for some of the U34's, almost nothing had been altered from its EL appearance, where on the PC and CNJ lines there was a lot of painting out of predecessor road names. The trains and stations would retain their flavor til NJ Transit updated the DLW lines a few years later and changed the power distribution system, rendering these Edison era trains obsolete. |
