Passenger Trains > Army-Navy Specials

Back in the day, Pennsy used to have a yard full of specials.
Any this year ?

Septa doesn't run any heavy rail since they're regional .... Amtrak doesn't run any ... unqualified crews to South Philly and need a pilot ... usually just the PV specials if one or any are run

To err is human, to forgive devine! Anyway the Broad St. Subway IS heavy rail!!

When is the game? Is Amtrak and Mr. Levin running a special train again this year?

Thank you in advance.

only because Army's coaches blundered the last 3 minutes of the game by hedging a trick play instead of going smash mouth leading to a missed FG that eventually lead to a turnover loss

Tactics on the ground have consequences.

General George Meade (West Point, 1835) missed an opportunity to end the Civil War on July 4, 1863, when he failed to pursue General Robert E. Lee (West Point, 1829) after the conflict at Gettysburg.

Where were those Generals yesterday when we really needed them????

So no Bennett Levin PRR Special this year?
That's like having no Rose Parade.
Times are tough.
