Actually, "Number 1's" last run will be tonight, Friday, on 429, leaving=20
Hoboken at 5:00 p.m., arriving at 6:21 p.m. at Gladstone.

I'm hoping for a dramatic whistle salute in Hoboken.

This man marks the end of the Lackawanna steam era, the last of the steam=20
engineers still to be working.

Thanks, Bill Davidson, for such a storied career and admirable work ethic.
