Penn Central's James Whitcomb Riley, named in honor of the Hoosier poet, makes its stop at Lafayette on its way from Chicago to Cincinnati on a dreary summer day in 1968. The lead E8 for PC train #304 looks a bit long in the tooth but the consist is still respectable with diner and reclining seat coaches.
