An RPO car was also pushed through a bumper in this incident. Two good photos of the accident can be found on page 27 of "Lackawanna Route In Central NY" published in 1977 by the CNY Chapter of the NRHS. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in old photos of the DLW in Central NY. I don't seem to see it available from the local NRHS chapter or the National site either. It is however available at the follwing link, though there may be only a very few copies available. http://tinyurl.com/ykn36v - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Olszewski" <eolszew1_@_twcny.rr.com> To: <erielack_@_lists.elhts.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 11:26 PM Subject: RE: (erielack) High points and runaways... > The Jamesville runaway was a string of stone hoppers that cut loose from the > Jamesville Yard.
