I'm familiar with how in March of 1972 Penn Central abruptly ended Chatham passenger service in the middle of the day, stranding passengers returning from NY at Dover Plains (MTA territory).
What I'm curious about is - does anyone here know who the crew was that day? Did the railroad taxi them back to Chatham? How many passengers were on board? Anyone know any of the individuals involved - and how they managed to return to their stations of origin?
This is a much-talked-about event, but I have never seen these specifics described. It was most definitely a tragic and fateful day for the Harlem.
