I remember seeing a couple of steam engines on commuter trains sitting on the 
Caldwell Branch on a weekend. But I remember a lot of Lackawanna engines 
around Netcong and Pt. Morris. Once (about '48) I rode my bike over on a Sat am to 
take a picture of the westbound milk train, which ran via the "Old Road". I 
wanted a picture of the new diesels, but it had two 1600s. So I didn't take a 
picture.

On the semi-related thread of working for the  railroad:I worked for CR for 
my second career. Had a lot of interesting and fun jobs, in the Operating Dept 
and then the Marketing Dept. Have (and never had) any real complaints, make 
useful contributions to the success of the company. My great grandfather started 
on the DL&W in 1870 when he arrived from Sweden, my Grandfather and two of 
his brothers worked for the rr for 50 or so years each, my father for some 
years, and now one of my sons is an engineman on NJT (PRR side), so is a 5th 
Generation railroader. I still do some consulting in the intermodal business.
