Nostalgia & History > NYC 462 and 463 The Egyptian Harrisburg, IL - ChicagoDate: 01/29/15 19:38 NYC 462 and 463 The Egyptian Harrisburg, IL - Chicago Author: CCDeWeese Does anyone have any pictures or other information about the Egyptian, the NYC passenger train between Harrisburg and Chicago, IL? I rode the last run from Robinson, IL, my home town and Paris, IL and back the night of the last run, May 2 and 4, 1957. My parents rode it from Robinson to Chicago to the Furniture Show at the Merchandise Mart in earlier years; it had a Pullman Sleeping car, a coach, and handled milk cans from and to farmers along the line.

At least the Big 4 depot is still standing in Robinson.
