I took the Lake Shore Limited in the 1970s from home (Westchester County, NY) to college near Chicago. It was a very cold winter, and the train literally, got stuck to the tracks in Buffalo. We spent two hours in Buffalo while they thawed the wheels with blow torches. Passengers had two choices–a car that had enough heat to power a sauna, and cars that had no heat at all. Ah, memories!
Steamed ham is definitely not an Albany term. As an Albanian, i’ve never heard it used here. It’s probably a Utica thing- They have a lot of unique food terminology. Think tomato pie. Both the Albany and Schenectady stations are fairly new. They were built in partnership with the local transit authority. It was good to see you get up to some decent speeds west of Schenectady. The condition of the tracks has long been the reason for those trains not being able to achieve the 100+ mph speeds of the NYC – bound trains.
How late was this edition of the Late For Sure Limited?
