Remarks & Notes

54 year old Lackawanna MU's are on an NJT rush hour train approaching Convent Station, NJ. In one month the DC power distribution system would be retired along with all of the heavyweight MU's. About half of the 283 cars built would be preserved by various tourist RR's around the country.
