List,

Since I had my stack of EL magazines, I just had to page thru a few. Right away I ran across this article. From the sound of it, the EL stated a program in July 1961 to replace traditional open track cars and trailers with new motor vehicles with hi-rails. Is this the first use of hi-rails on the EL? Did this spell the end of speeders on the EL? Was this the result of a union agreement or a move to improve safety, comfort and efficiency as implied by the article?
