Issue 8
The 4th Quarter 2016 issue of TRAINS & RAILROADS OF THE PAST will be presenting a look at Chicago railroading in 1974, an exciting time and place where freights were powered by a colorful assortment of diesels from a variety of Class Is and passenger trains were led by a rainbow of cab units! We also look back a decade to 1964.

This issue will also feature a visit to a 1960s steam-powered coal railroad called the Sydney & Louisburg Railway, which heavily
relied on 2-8-2s and 0-8-0s when most other roads had already gone all-diesel. In addition to their large stable of steam locomotives
powering heavy coal movements, they also operated a mixed train!
Railroads transported all kinds of things on flatcars, from
piggyback trailers to locomotives, and TRP will show you some of the more interesting loads moving on flats.
Mike Bednar explores the Lehigh Valley Railroad’s
Mountain Cut-off from Laurel Run to Coxton, Pennsylvania. You’ll see big freights on the LVRR, Conrail and current- owner, Reading & Northern.

cars, you'll also see lots of trackwork, signs, scenery, signals and structures, too! Readers enjoy re-living this exciting era of railroading in the pages of TRP.

The Fourth Quarter 2016 issue of PASSENGER TRAIN JOURNAL marks the 10th anniversary of PTJ’s revival under the White River Productions flag. In this issue, PTJ
ISSUE: $8.99 PLUS S/H SUBSCRIPTION: $32 IN US
Issue 269 2016:4
celebrates the 20th anniversary of Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express, which provides daily service over the scenic route between New York City and Rutland, Vermont.
For PTJ’s ongoing (and soon to be expanded)
coverage of vintage passenger-train features, in this issue we inaugurate a new series, “Midnight Specials,” focusing on trains whose
endpoints were a quick overnight run apart. For the first in the series, we head to the American West for a look at the obscure history of Union Pacific’s Butte Special, which until Amtrak’s start-up in 1971 ran between Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, and Butte, Montana.
In PTJ issue 269, we provide an in-depth report on the long- awaited makeover of Springfield
(Massachusetts) Union Station. Work is already underway in transforming this impressive, if unremarked, major station facility at the
crossroads of Amtrak’s Chicago–
Boston and New York–New Haven– Springfield–Vermont lines.
