+ Larger Font | + Smaller Font

August 29, 2008

I had some time to kill before I went to the L&WV Chapter 35 Aniversary Banquet. There were a lot of people in the State Building Lot by Bridge 60

It looked like something was coming in.

There was an Incident, were a section of rail rolled over as the front truck of the Steam engine crossed it.

They got it cleaned up, but I left before they were done.

(Why is the distance

to Hoboken in many,
 many years ???)
