Operating as No. 221 on CP’s Adirondack sub, Delaware & Hudson’s Montreal Limited crosses the St. Lawrence River on its way to a scheduled 8:30 AM arrival at Windsor Station. Having departed Grand Central Station at 10:30 PM as part of Penn Central Train No. 63, the consist was turned over to the D&H at Albany-Rensselaer departing at 2:15 AM as its train No. 9. The same October 26, 1969 PC timetable describes accommodations as “Lounge Sleeping Car Bedrooms New York to Montreal (Beverages and Buffet Breakfast)",  "Sleeping Cars  Roomettes and Bedrooms New York to Montreal", and  "Reclining Seat Coaches Between all points”. Why the Erie Lackawanna E8s? Between mid-1968 and mid-1972 (after the EL bankruptcy), both D&H and EL were operated under common management in a holding company (DERECO) controlled by the Norfolk & Western. EL E-units were often used on the Montreal Limited and the Laurentian when PAs weren't available or additional steam heating capacity was deemed necessary.
