(erielack) Happy Erie Lackawanna Day!

[secbyte_@_ptd.net]

Mine was 70-76.  I grew up on Manor Road in Denville near the end and 
our house was about 150 feet from the tracks of the Boonton line.  I 
think this was the time of the Hot Shot fast freights because they 
really seemed to move through there. (I could be wrong there) Each shelf 
in our home had a lip on it. When when a train went by the entire house 
shook and the lip kept the glassware on the shelves.  I remember if I 
would have a sleepover as a child the terror in those kids eyes when a 
train would come through at night and it would feel like an earthquake 
to them! It was awsome!
