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?
