In a scene reminiscent of 1968 if not for the black paint and white numbers, GG-1 4872 led Keystone-laden coaches into South Amboy station in March, 1978.

Tom Beckett General There were still some Tuscan coaches in service then. Notable among the P 70's was PRR 1734, lettered "Commuter Club". It was a subscription car for commuters who paid to ride it, in addition to their regular commutation ticket. It would serve continental breakfast in the morning, and adult beverages in the afternoons. This car ran on one of the Penn Station trains. There was also a car that ran on one of the trains that ran into and out of Newark, a former CNJ schedule displaced from Jersey City when the Alden Plan was implemented in 1967. 9/12/2016 3:42:01 AM
