The road's colorful gray, maroon and yellow diesels plied the rails between New Jersey and Chicago, while northern New Jersey still saw operation of ancient mutliple-unit electric commuter trains, along with diesel powered commuters too, well into the late 1970s.While much of the focus is on freight trains, EL's passenger trains, specifically the "Phoebe Snow", also receives coverage. A few steam fan trips are also included.Table of ContentsIntroduction ........................................ 4The Friendly Service Route ...................... 5Marion Division .................................. 10Mahoning & Buffalo Divisions ................ 18Susquehanna Division ........................... 28Scranton Division ................................ 46New York Division .............................. 58Album ............................................. 78Acknowledgements ..............................88The author was employed by the EL beginning in 1962, eventually leaving in 1977 when it had already became part of Conrail.
