Re: (erielack) Question: fan trip on DL&W late 1963 or early '64
Well, almost to Northumberland.
With PAs to Scranton, FWIW.
This was a great trip, despite its late arrival back in Hoboken. About a
half dozen of us from Long Island mapped out the plan to establish an NRHS
group on the way back -- the genesis of the LI Sunrise Trail Chapter was
actually on an EL trip!
Cheers,
Jim Guthrie
