[Firehair3_@_aol.com]

As mentioned some while back, my *fave)  cousin is a RR buff---a  doctor, his 
time is spread thin, I edit, send him info from this  list--which I think is 
great!!!
 
he sent this comment;
 
 
Cuzzin: 
Thanks for all the interesting trivia.    The history  of the DL&W` is that 
New Jersey "Cut off" which ran from Port Morris to the  Delaware Water Gap and 
required an immense amount of fill but saved  some  30 miles of out of the way 
traffic and a direct shot to Stroudesburg, Pa. The  president of the DL&W at 
that time was a man named Truesdall and he also  devised the new rails along 
the old Ligget Gap RR which was along the "old  Lackawanna trail"running from 
Clarks Summit, Pa. to Halstead, Pa. He took out a  lot of curves and grades in 
that run out of Scranton which was a horrible  grade.

Attitude and Perception are  everything.  Be kinder, more caring, patient, 
than necessary, everyone you  meet is fighting some kind of battle. 

Life may not be the party we hoped  for, but while we're here, we might 
as well dance! 

What you accept,  you teach. The choices you make affect not only your life, 
but the lives of all  with whom you come in contact.
