Re: (erielack) Blast from the past

["Pete Scheckermann" <pschecke_@_columbus.rr.com>]

The reference to the "dirt trains" reminded me of the "sand trains" run on
the Greenwood Lake in the mid 60's during the construction of I-80.  They
featured A-B-B-A set of F units with a sizable train of hopper cars.

Does anybody know where the sand originated, and where it was sent to?

Thanks

it's about the Conrail "Dirt Train" that operated over the Boonton Line...
