The Lackawanna's Finest Train - The Phoebe Snow Story

I've wanted to talk about this train for a while now, so here it is!

Now, imagine a famous railroad only known by its flagship train - like the Southern Pacific’s Coast Daylight, Amtrak’s California Zephyr, Great Northern’s Empire Builder, and the New York Central’s 20th Century Limited. You got that? Great. Just over the Hudson River, there was a very widely-loved luxury train that truly left a mark on American railroading history that people don’t really mention anymore. Let’s talk about… the EL’s Phoebe Snow.
