Re: (erielack) Dansbury Depot - East Stroudsburg
Henry,
As far as I know, both Steamtown (NPS) and Delaware-Lackawanna have been
talked to about this in the past. I think it's a great idea, but trying to
get NPS and/or D-L to agree to it is like trying to push a rope up to
Pocono Summit with your arms tied behind you.

Hi:
I am Major (Rev.) Robert E. Vaughan, Sr, a retired Salvation Army officer
from Long Pond, PA and I would like to pass on some information for you.
I read the article in the April Trains magazine and found it to be very
interesting and informative.
I have been a railroad buff for many years, spent summers growing up near
the Harmon yard, worked for New York Central at Harmon doing electrical
work on
the 'F' units back in the 1950's, two years after leaving the Navy. My wife
and I have monitored the Monroe County Rail authority for several years and
are well known by Bob Hay and the board. Also I am a longtime member of
the
Pocono Chapter NRHS.
Because of my interest in trains and their progress, I have spoken to the
owner of the Dansbury Depot many times about running a dinner train from
East
Stroudsburg. He was very much in favor of the idea. Of course, it would
mean
more business for him. What a tourist attraction it would be on weekends in
the
summertime. Since I am not a name gatherer, I never learned his name, but
he
is at the restraurant many days.
I do not know if this information is of any interest to you, but thought I
would pass it along.
Good luck on your endeavor. God Bless! Bob Vaughan
