es, this is the game that the NY Historical Society has.  As you may recall
hey were selling a night light based on a portion of the game board.  They
idn't do the actual game.
We were able to borrow a copy of the game from David Monte Verde and Paul
upaczewski did the scanning and graphics cleanup.  The game will have all
f the original materials:  game board and box, instructions, game pawns,
nd spinner.  Later versions of the game had dice in place of the spinner
ut the spinner adds to the Victorian look and feel of the game.
This game yet again points out how big an advertising icon Phoebe Snow was
round the turn of the 20th Century.  The Lackawanna was a pioneer on what
ould become the standard advertising techniques of the 20th Century.  She
as to the DL&W what Ronald McDonald would be 60 years later.

 Is this the game that I and a few others saw last year in an NY Times
 article? An original copy of the game was on display at the New-York
 Historical
 Society (W77 St. & Central Park West) and the Times picked up on it. I
 recall
 passing this on as others did. I have no affiliation with the NY Times but
 they are great when it comes to publishing articles on rail history.

 Thanks for keeping another piece of our EL heritage alive.
