Been trying to locate the year and month of the issue of TRAINS that contained the photo of what I believe was the last run of Lehigh Valley's MAPLE LEAF. It's taken at ALLENTOWN; the train is 6 hours late, totally encased in ice and snow. Anyone?
(Note, I corrected the city)
I kept searching and searching and, VOILA! Here 'tis. The last Lehigh Valley passenger train, running 6 hours late but still running no matter the weather.
Wow, what a picture! The "Maple Leaf" was going, but it sure wasn't going without a fight!
Real old-time "the elements be damned!" railroading. Thanks for posting it!
