Is this train travelling eastbound, i.e. the photographer is aiming to the west-south-west? Sure seems like it to me.

[Studebaker Wheel]

Yes, that is correct.

[Dennis L. Henry]

Yes, that is correct.

Thank You.. I remember this section of track fairly well. In July of 1975, the Freedom Train visited South Bend. During its time in South Bend, my father, uncle, and I shadowed it all around town, and it spent a great deal of time up on those tracks near Union Station on one of the sidings.

Dick-
Thanks for using the correct term Grand Central TERMINAL. (Using the term "station" is proof of sloppy research.) GCT (built by the New York Central) is a terminal because all tracks terminate there. There are no through tracks. Pennsylvania Station, the other major station in New York (built by the Pennsylvania RR) is a station because trains can pass through it on the Washington (and south) to Boston (and north) route.

Some may think me petty, but it's the approximate equivalent of the difference between sedan and hardtop.

You're not petty, just accurate. Great quality to have! BTW are you going to South Bend this weekend? I still owe you a beverage.

Sorry, can't make it this weekend. You have a better memory than me -- I had already forgotten about that heavy debt. Now that you've reminded me, I'll be sure to arrange repayment somehow.

We'll just have to do it at the International Meet. Hope you can last that long.
