In the mid-'40's, there was a Hoboken-Scranton set out sleeper. You'd think they'd just pingpong the two cars instead of deaheading them? Randy Brown - -------------------------------------------------------------- In looking at the DL&W schedule in my 1952 Guide, Train #21 is seems to be the remanent of the old milk train that ran to Binghamton, then was cut back to Scranton probably to handle the mail and express traffic that was on the milk train in later years. As I recall the milk train is always had a an open platform steel combine and the Pullman deadheading back to Scranton for the nightly Scranton-Hoboken sleeper (reputed to be the shortest Pullman in the country).
