Student critic of Penn Central at ICC hearing
Slippery Rock State College student Joseph Vranich testifies at an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing that Penn Central Railroad operates slovenly and neglects passenger service promotion. He cites the Admiral and Fort Pitt trains between New York, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. An assistant general counsel counters that mail-coach removals cut about $563,000 annually, noting Pittsburgh passengers would not be seriously inconvenienced if these trains are discontinued.
