Joe-
	As I recall, The M&NJ ran an excursion business for a couple of years 
in the early 1960's.  The 103 was the usual power, and I'll have to see if I 
can dig up some of the old snapshots my father took to see what kind of cars 
they used - my memory (often faulty) has some open vestibule cars (Lackawanna 
Boonton's?); Stillwells may also have been used - it wasn't unusual for the 
Erie/EL to lease out some commuter cars for fantrips on the weekends (the 
Reading 2124 trips over the L&HR in the 1960's used Erie cars, as did other 
EL excursions over the L&HR in 1964).  I think the excursion business was 
under the title of "The New York State Railroad Museum". 
	The photos I have are dated September 1964, and they show the consist 
to be what looks like a Boonton combine, a coach that may be a Stillwell, and 
a wooden side door caboose. My dad took me on the trip at that time, and I 
think the excursions ended the next year or so.
	Hope this helps!
