["J.McEachen" <jmcea_@_sbcglobal.net>]

I am thinking it was in 1963 or 64, but I was on an EL fantrip on a 
cool, cloudy, drizzly day, somehow I remember Middletown, NY, but I 
won't swear to it, but the overarching thought is that the train was 
handled by new Fairbanks Morse Trainmasters. Somewhere here I have some 
dim slides, but I remember getting back to Hoboken very late. The 
Trainmasters were the draw (as was my friend's girlfriend which is why I 
can't remember the trip much!)
