(erielack) DL&W MAIL TRAIN



I just picked up the DIAMONDS, FLAGS, & STATUES issue on Lackawanna 
diesels.  When reading about the locomotive assignments in 1957, I 
found one of the passenger GP-7's assigned to a mail train.  Further 
information said this train usually ran Thursdays and Fridays and was 
not in any timetable.  The locomotive left Hoboken in the morning and 
returned early evening.  Where did this train run to and over what 
lines?  Does anyone have any actual arrival and departure times along 
the line?  Did it carry an RPO or was it all bulk mail?  

Thanks to all who could inform me about this train.
