Attention please!

In the archives of the Rochester Chapter NRHS are several reel to reel tapes of Penn Central train announcements which were played in many stations across of the Penn Central and previously the New York Central System. The Chapter has transferred these and would like to share two of them here with you as MP3s.

'Attention please! Empire Service...' - A Penn Central Railroad train annoucement announcing Train 61 departing from Harmon Station.

'Atention please! A local train to NY...' - A Penn Central Railroad train annoucement announcing a local train departing from Harmon Station and headed toward Grand Central terminal.

We will share more of these announcements in the future.   We hope you enjoy them.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will have to cancel the Air Brake class scheduled for 1:00 P.M. on Sunday, May 9. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this. We will be re-scheduling the class to a date to be determined. The R&GVRRM Rules Class from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. will still be held as planned.
