Amtrak Silverliners-1974 Timetable
Posted by 081552 on Monday, July 8, 2013 2:17 PM

Amtrak's 1974 timetable shows Silverliners on Philadelphia to Harrisburg service. Were these owned by Amtrak or leased from PC or SEPTA?

If I put this question up on the Trains discussion form they'd tell me to put it on Class Trains!

Leased from SEPTA and none ever carried Amtrak colors. Around that time MP54E6's (roller bearing equipped and higher hp. motors) also covered Harrisburg schedules on occasion. The St Louis Car Silverliners were my favorite at the time.
