RE: (erielack) The Ray Scott Collection: Interesting Views At Suffern
jIM,
i JUST WANTED TO THANK U FOR THE GREAT PIX AT sUFFERN & WR.........I thought
of the many times I'd slept in the Stilwells at Suffern. Bitter cold usually
& we'd cou[ple up thje old RS3s steam for the nite, then take the backs off
the seats & make a bed of them. No bedding of course. Just get up at 5am the
next day & take the traiin out to Hoboken. Bad thing about
Suffern..........no place to eat there, so until u got to Hoboken (&
Schaeffers,) no dinner or breakfast. There was a bar near the tracks, but
no food (this was 1962-63 or so). WR sticks iin my memory acct of following
another train & the oldhead engineer refused to leave until I went out &
dumped the drinking water can on a smoldering tie where there was a long
burned-out fusee. This made us late to Hoboken, but the officials overlooked
it. These are GREAT fotos & I'm glad someone made them available.
Regards,
Walter E. Smith
