While most of the trains on the ELs Erie side ran to Suffern, just over the state line in NY, there were still several that ran the 87 miles to Port Jervis, at that time via the Main Line through Goshen and Chester. The move to the Graham Line was still five years in the future at uhe time of the photo. Because the run to PO had 57 miles in New York, MTA funded some of the equipment in that pool, including this set of coaches, hence the much different appearance from the Comet Is used in New Jersey. These were built to the specs for the Silverliners, but without the electrical equipment. |
