Richie the Long Island Railroad was good to provide both coaches and power for the excursion trip.
That is one if not the oldest railroad operating under its original name for its entire existence.
I am surprised that the Pennsylvania Railroad did not strip it on its original name.
Like it did to all the other railroads it took over by basically force.

Nice photos Jeff and Richard. I especially like the Great Northern RS Alco.
Next we see a Penn Central F7 locomotive entering the Horseshoe Curve around 9 am this morning.
She was hauling two cabooses still wearing the Pennsylvania Railroad scheme.
The F7 was assigned to track inspection duty. Near Altoona Pennsylvania.

Impressive Penn Central consist you saw Jeff. The CNJ helper unit was also great.
Awesome steam action in Bergen Point Frank. Always busy over there in Jersey.
Those oversized bottle caps show that huge amounts of brew are consumed by the Frankford crew.
Next photo is of a train set with a colorful caboose departing Northfield Valley Nebraska.





Always peaceful in that area of Nebraska.

Among the most beautiful locomotives and best paint schemes
ever.
Love the heavyweight consist. On youtube is a 1960's
"White Paper" rerun featuring the last days of the New Haven.
Some very interesting conversations between union rank and file.
Since no one can quite grasp that the world has changed.
Seems everyone wants a car or travel by jet. It is a shame.
Still train service is important as we see Pennsylvania Railroad F units.
They travel.

Nice Conrail and Amtrak views Jeff. Wonderful Pennsylvanian consist Robert.
This next photo shows a Lima built steam engine restored by the PGW crew.
They lettered her for their holiday fan trips later this year.





On one of her trial runs near Dunellen New Jersey. Runs perfectly. Time for the crew to have lunch.
