(erielack) Steam operation in NJ

Hello all

I am passing on this announcement for your information, I thought some of you
might be interested in attending.  It has a tenuous connection to the EL: 
there is a former DL&W caboose at this museum, stuffed & mounted on a
foundation, and painted for the Raritan River RR, which had purchased it from
the DLW.  But if you have an interest in antique machinery, or want to see,
photograph or ride behind 3-foot gauge steam locomotives in New Jersey, this is
the place.
