@PRRMP54 posted:I have the Liberty Liner version that has been converted to two-rail and am quite happy with it. I did ride one in service to Norristown and back to 69th Street. In reality, they were entirely too much car for the Philadelphia Suburban operation.
I also rode the Liberty Liners on the Norristown High Speed Line during the later 1960's. Although too much car for the line, as you say, I have to add that they were really nice to ride. The seats were very comfortable and the ride was smooth and quiet. The Red Arrow employees called the two train sets the 'Boozer Cruisers' because of the inclusion of the lounge cars. I have the 3rd Rail Brass Red Arrow set in 3-rail, which I tend to prefer because the Sunset version is correctly configured for Philadelphia Suburban operations with an outside third power rail and floor height elevated passenger platforms (no trolley poles and no side steps) .
Thanks for the thread. Enjoy!
