The Penn Central actually filed for bankruptcy in *1970* (June 21st, 1970, to be exact, 871 days after the PRR-NYC merger took effect on February 1st, 1968), not 1972.

Ahh thanks for that. Not sure why I said 1972... cheers to dyslexia!

@@CCBP1216 The Erie Lackawanna was the railroad that filed for bankruptcy in 1972. (Both PC and EL ended up becoming part of Conrail in 1976 anyway.)

That may have been what I was thinking of...

So glad to see this content on here! This made my entire year! I've been going to that Y in Hudson since I was a little kid! So cool to learn so much about the history of the lines and that particular spot. The old PRR IT branch runs right by my house. Always wondered about it since it meets up with the CSX New Castle Sub in Cuyahoga Falls. This answers so many questions I had for so long. Thanks for sharing, great work, and I hope to see you by the rails some time!!
