Hope springs eternal as the snowbanks melt every
spring. There was not much hope on the Penn Central,
deeply mired in a bottom-less financial quagmire in the
spring of 1973. Nobody knew at the time, but the then five
year old railroad was at the mid-point in its bankruptcy...
it had failed financially on June 21, 1970...on April
1,1976, it would be absorbed into Conrail.
Meanwhile, the railroad and its employees and officials
were making the best of the situation...continuing as
usual, despite adversity, to provide service across its
sprawling system. Emery Gulash was trackside with his
movie cameras, recording the pulsating P C rail action
during another difficult year.
