Nostalgia & History > Diminishing variety in Erie, PA

This Feb, 1965, view in Pennsy's OD Yard in Erie
​would soon be impossible to repeat.  In the following
month, on March 27th, passenger service would end,
and you'd no longer see the E unit laying over.

Then, some six weeks later, on May 13th, the last
​run of Baldwin sharks into town would take place.

Today, the foreground is a highway, and the only
​track is the B&P line which interchanges with CSX.
​It's just one of the countless "remember whens" that
have long since faded.

Very nice.
Thank you.

I always appreciate seeing photos of trains in Erie, PA.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice photo. Seems like the last time I was at the roundhouse was when the 4070 was fired up there. Would that have been the early '70's?
Do you know when the roundhouse was torn down? Spent a fair amount of time in XC tower as a kid.
