All my shots of TV-98 show it taking the Erie side, so this one might have
been a detour.

Shots in my collection of trains over the Boonton Line from 4/1/76 to 8/78
are:

CS-9 (ubiquitous!)
IHB-7
NY-72
HB-91
BH-4
HB-3
HB-1
FM-4


Of course, many of these trains were quickly terminated after CR, and the
only three that seemed to run towards the end were the first three: CS-9,
IHB-7 and NY-72 - two westbound and one eastbound.
