ESM — New Model (X65), New Release (X58), 4th Quarter 2017

Man, where'd this thread get unearthed from??   

P&LE independent scheme definitely fits 1985.  The Lehigh Valley cars for early 1970s.

The X58s are still coming, just waiting for more demand.  The CR ex-LV patch-out is a favorite of mine, so it will get done at some point.  Probably this time next year and piggybacked with X65s and X72s.

Dunno Ed,
But I remember seeing this scheme in the "wild" back in the 70s:

That venue is two towns over from where I grew up.  Ridgefield Park / Bogota border crossing the confluence of the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek on the ex-NYC West Shore Line.

A Bergen County boy, heh?

Still am. Moved from one side of the county to the other.

North Bergen County, just before crossing into NYS.
