- That was 1933, right? Guess that's why I never saw it! that's three years
- before I was born and 20 years before I rode my first train to New York.
- Thanks for the information. It had never occured to me that they might
- have done something like that, although I knew that the Hell Gate Bridge
- Route pre-dated PRR catenary. I guess if I'd ever thought of it I would
- have assumed that the PRR had allowed the NH to extend their overhead into
- Penn Station. I have a couple of NH Employees' Timetables from the late
- 20s - guess I'll go reread them and see if I can find any relevant material.

- Like I said, the story is probably apochryphal. But it makes for good
