Speaking of runaways, there are other "high points" on EL lines where
I've wondered if runaways have happened. One point that springs to mind
is the tiny yard at Great Notch, NJ. Have any cars ever slipped out of
here and gone down the line?

Where else on the former EL have runaways occurred other than the famous
Port Morris? Have any trains run away coming down the mountains into
either Scranton or Port Jervis?
