There was a short article by the late Ed DeRouin in the Spring 2007 issue of "First and Fastest (publication of the Shore Line Historical Society.) It had Pacific 2833 on the cover, in front of a power car and four bi-levels in 1952 (a color picture.) There are also photos of steam on a bi-level train at Harlem and at the Highlands. The title was "Land of the Burlingtons" and it was six pages long, with nine color pictures. It has some good information on this transition period. Rich Gortowski

I lived facing the Burlington tracks on the race track beginning 1953 or 1954 and even rode 1or trains
with that set up.
Thanks for the information,
