| The yard tracks at Montauk were in about as good shape as they ever were in the mid 70s. What is interesting about the yard is the drain lines for the toilets-note the yellow pipes-since at least some of the cars had retention toilets at this point. There were also electric hook ups, though most of the parlor cars ran on battery power. This allowed for climate control, among other things, to be ready for riders when the trains were ready to depart for New York. |
