...accoutrement for the Crimson team of 1881 consisted of high baseball shoes with leather strips on the soles, crimson stockings and jerseys, with a white canvas jacket over the jersey, and knee breeches that once had been white.

So from Hell Gate, where the Pennsylvania connects with New England lines, to Manhattan Transfer in New Jersey, where steam locomotives replace electric ones for the long Pennsylvania hauls south and west, and to Long Island City where the Pennsy's Long Island trains change from electricity to steam-within all that great triangle electric locomotives haul the cars. For the same reason at Manhattan the New York Central hauls its trains by electricity to Harmon and the New York...
