Somewhere at home I have the folder advertising one of these trips. The one I have included the hotel, a Broadway show, breakfast on Sunday, and then the return. They had a dedicated bus (multiple?) that took them to and from Hoboken. The base price was for coach, with a Pullman upgrade available. Everyone got a maroon and gray button to wear that sales "Erie Lackawanna Tours". I wear it when I go to ELDCPS events. I know I have met many people in Scranton who tell me the Christmas season didn't start until they took the DL&W to go shopping in NYC.
