Ed and List,

It was the regular Sunday train to Branchville which had about a two
hour layover in Branchville.

The power was two GP-7=E2=80=99s, the 968 and 970. Going up, we had five
200 series cars, no Boonton Cars, also no diner or buffet lounge. On the
return, we also had two milk cars.

It really would have been better to ride some other Sunday with the
regular Boonton cars and windows that opened. But it was all new and
great to me.

Several shots of mine are attached. The shot of the two units at
Branchville shows my late friend Bob Duthie at the far left. He lived
next door to me in Brooklyn. We set out early that morning riding the
subway and tubes to Hoboken for our first fan trip.

I have Bob's half frame color slides of the trip but they need some
work.
