RJ74 THE LAKE SHORE LIMITED Traveling west through Indiana, Amtrak's New York – Chicago train “The Lake Shore Limited” passes Porter Tower. Fourteen cars and two F40PH locomotives make up the train this 30th day of June 1981. The cars are rebuilt streamlined equipment refurbished and outfitted with electric powered heat and air con- ditioning. This upgrading, done in Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops, provides the rail passenger network on eastern lines with luxurious rail travel in the '80's. "The Lake Shore Limited" was the first train to be equipped with the Heritage Series cars in October 1979. Power for the cars is generated in the locomotives rather than each car providing its own power. “The Lake Shore Limited”, train numbers 48 and 49, travel the old New York Central waterlevel route. A section serves New England to Boston from Albany-Rensselaer, N.Y. Photo by Carl H. Sturner © 1981 Ray R. Amon 25 June 196 Elmen Published by Audio-Visual Designs, P.O.
