Erie - Lackawanna Slide Show
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 7:30


The Tri-State Railway Historical Society invites you.

The Tri-State Railway Historical Society will be hosting a Slide Show covering the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad main line between Hoboken and the Delaware Water Gap during the era from immediately after the merger (1960) until the New Jersey Cut-Off was abandoned during early Conrail (late 1970’s). Coverage will include the final runs of the Phoebe Snow and Lake Cities passenger trains, and many freight trains, some pulled by F3’s like Tri-State’s future DL&W 663 in Scranton. An added bonus will be the addition of the Morris County Central 2-8-0 No. 385 on its famous fan trip runs between Morristown and Summit in the late 1970’s. This steam locomotive is today in Whippany in full Southern Railway lettering. The meeting begins at 7:30 PM with the entertainment beginning shortly after 8:00 PM. Admission is free. All are welcome.

The presentation will be given by noted rail photographer Rich Taylor.
