I watched Three Days Of The Condor this week and enjoyed the scene in Hoboken Terminal. Our hero catches an Erie-Lackawanna train to Newark with connections to Baltimore & Washington via the Penn Central.

The filmmakers were apparently unaware that Amtrak had taken over the PC's Newark-Baltimore-Washington route in 1971. However, I like that they foresaw the creation of the Waterfront Connection 20 years in advance!
