EL816_Schenectady_1-1971.jpg (image/jpeg, 800x522 50027 bytes, BF: 8.35 ppb)

While checking out the eBay listings today, I found this listing....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-Delaware-Hudson-D-H-Erie-Lakawanna-816-SB-Past-OLD-Schenectady-Station-/360433610806?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53eb847036

which shows EL816 and another EL E8 with a passenger train going by the 
Schenectady, NY station on the D&H in January, 1971. I know we're out of the 
passenger train business before this date so any clues as to what this move 
is all about? Anybody have any information on this train? From the slide, I 
can't really distinguish the passenger car heritages. Was this some kind of 
a Dereco inspection train, maybe?
