Erie Railroad passenger trains: The Erie Railroad is Classic Trains’ railroad of the month for October 2023. All this month you’ll find interesting articles detailing the history of the Erie in text and photographs. Please enjoy this Erie Railroad passenger trains photo gallery, originally published in March 2016 and selected from the archives of Kalmbach Media’s David P. Morgan Library. Only from Trains.com!
In the early ’60’s I rode the Lake Cities from Chicago to Jamestown NY and back, wish I had photos, but the memories are still good.
Love this picture, but it’s Great Notch, New Jersey (not N.Y.). I grew up in Upper Montclair, just east of this scene, but too late for steam.
Great photos; the Erie was before my time so any chance to see shots like this is greatly appreciated!
