LMS Electrics in the 1970s - 1
Former London Midland & Scottish Railway Class 502 Electric Multiple Unit runs into Southport Chapel Street Station during the rush hour. These advanced electric units were built in the late 1930s and remained in service with British Railways (London Midland Region ) under contract to the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive until the start of the 1980s on the Liverpool to Ormskirk/Southport/Kirkby lines.

Former LMS electric multiple unit runs into Hall Road Station on a Southport to Liverpool working in 1977. These advanced EMUs were built in the late 1930s and operated until the beginning of the 1980s. Considering their advancing age they were quite reliable, however, they were to be replaced by the less reliable 1978 built class 507 units which still cause problems on the Merseyside electrified lines.

Class 506 (1,500 volt) Electric Multiple Unit arrives at Dinting Station on a working from Glossop to Manchester (Picadilly) May 1978. These EMUs were built by British Railways in 1954 to a LNER design for the pioneering electrified trans-Pennine Woodhead Route originally planned by the LNER prior to nationalisation in 1948. In the 1980s the Woodhead route was closed though the Manchester-Glossop-Hadfield section remains open though now operated by 25Kv multiple units.

Winter on Algoma Central
From RailOnline Magazine, issue 7, Feb. `94. It's December `93, and the Canadian Algoma Central will be "as warm as" -35 F during Dan Dawdy's trip. But the frigid weather isn't cold enough to stop the two Geeps leading train 1. And the clear winter air is perfect for - you guessed it - railfan shots, highlighting the colorful ACR scheme. ACR keeps their units in shiny mint condition, as can be seen in this photo.

My response to upper midwest senators re: Am Cuts
This is my response regarding the trains that were selected for elimination or reduction in service. I base my thoughts on mostly data as provided in the documentation. The data includes occupied seats per trip. The poorest group, Short Distance trains, 110.7 average, NEC 159.8, Long Distance Services 210.6. But the cuts and reductions, as pointed out in the document, only followed usage on some routes, not on others. You will see which routes Amtrak favors.
