Nov. 28 -- PHOEBE SNOW MAKES FINAL RUN -- Erie Lackawanna's The Phoebe Show is readied for its final westward run in Hoboken yesterday. The train, victim of high costs and a declining number of passengers, closes out more than 60 years of service when it returns from Chicago tonight. (AP Wirephoto) (See AP Wire Story) (rh20600str-mc) 1966 [end] Note: the caption states it had 60 years of service which gives the impression that a train named Phoebe Snow had been on this route for that period. The railroad did have passenger service on the route for a long time, but a train named Phoebe Snow had only operated since 1949. See notes.
