Nostalgia & History > Bluebird cars ?Date: 03/02/26 11:13 Bluebird cars ? Author: gcm Dec 1975
I was wandering around the N&W (ex-Nickel Plate) in Cleveland near the transit system line. This four car set came by. I'm guessing these were some of the Bluebird cars purchased in the mid-50's (retired mid 80's) ? Gary  Date: 03/02/26 11:28 Re: Bluebird cars ? Author: symph1 Wow, growing up in East Cleveland in the 50s and 60s I rode these all the time. Thanks for sharing!

Here we see some NKP coach yard tracks at bottom left, the 184.1 westbound block signal, and the west end of the center siding at bottom right.

Oh, duh, I totally forgot that they also had that St. Louie line. Thanks. |
