Reply to "I miss the train displays in Kauffman's, Horne's, Gimbels and Penn Traffic."

Penn Traffic had 3 divisions...Penn Traffic department stores...Riverside markets...and the Sanitary Dairy. Penn Traffic went through at least 3 bankruptcies after being taken over by raiders. Subsequently the Sanitary Dairy was sold to Deans Foods...and they just went chapter 11.Deans Closed the dairy in the 90's  and kept all of the ice cream recipes, and auctioned off all of the equipment. Also at the last bankruptcy they liquidated the company and the supermarket arm that also had Quality Markets was closed about 5 of those stores in Crawford and Erie counties (in Pa.) became TOPS markets.... a chain in NW New York.  What an end to a once profitable corporation. Only folks who lived in NW Pa would know this. From my 13 years living in Johnstown I can attest to this.
