Trains on this day in the past:

[Charlie B]

January of 1978 was a bad month for everyone as far as cold weather and snow but Amtrak was really troubled by it. They were still using steam to heat the Broadway and with temperatures dropping to 20 and 25 below zero the steam lines were freezing and the passengers were cold.
This is train #41 running 7 hours late with a fairly new F40PH on the head end. The E's still try to provide steam heat as well as power.
