RE: (erielack) DL&W ETT 1956
Interesting that you mention Tom Barry. He was a friend of my father's and operated "C-TOM BARRY MOTORS" on Route 202 about where the extension of Comley Road now reaches 202. I remember talking to him about some railroad history. Up until around 1960 the Lincoln Park Station looked like it was captured in a time warp or around 1920. It had a hand pump sink in the agent's area, a complete telegraph setup in the bay and a porcelain sign nailed on the building that said "New York Telephone" indicating a pay phone in the waiting room. I believe the telegraph set went with Barry when he left the station.

I can remember visiting with Tom Barry, Lincoln Park operator/ticket agent and listening to the conversation that Tom's job as operator would be cut when the CTC project was completed. Tom left the railroad sometime in 1958 to sell cars in Lincoln Park.
