Re: LHR C420's in Port Morris:
 
Given that the yard closed oficially that August (or Sept) day in '63, it  is 
unlikely that there were any further LHR interchange runs into PtM. That  
said, in this hobby one should never use absolutes, because someone will come up  
with an example that proves the supposition wrong. 
Anyway the next, I think '65, summer we were again home on leave and I  heard 
some diesels coming up from Waterloo not on the main track, but on the  
Sussex Branch, so I went over to Port Morris (actually, up)and there were two  
C420's spliced by an RS-3, on a train with a caboose on each end. Engines ran  
around the train, coupled up  and left for Phillipsburg on the  main/Washington 
line. 
Later, I read in the Newark Evening News that there had been a wreck along  
Rt 46 near Pequest. We drove down the next day and there were a lot of cars on  
the ground and in the river.
I have a few pictures, which I will dig out and check the date.
Jim
