Old Order, New Order

It is October 1971 in Berea and Penn Central has been around now for more than three years. Yet the heritage of the past lingered as seen at the west end of the CP194 interlocking as a train in the siding is led by a former New York Central unit still looking like these tracks were property of the mighty oval. The train on Track 2 shows the state of the art of PC motive power with its minimalist appearance.
