More stuff from Steve Hepler:

"Paul,

More Andy Barbera stuff for you and the EL List.

First is the Newark Evening News article from August 31, 1967 on Andy's
retirement run, the day before.

The other image is the commemorative tickets from his last run on the
"Lake Cities". The Lackawanna ticket is date stamped "Hoboken Terminal
Aug 30 67 2 Hoboken, N.J."

I remember being at Mountain Station for his final trip as he roared on
by... There were a number of us that used to watch him run the "Phoebe
Snow" and later the "LC". We would cycle from our homes in the
Vailsburg section of Newark and wait at either South Orange or Mountain
Station...listening as the diesels would make their way through the
Oranges. By the time the train would get to Mountain, it would be a
just a few seconds and it was gone... What a sight !

More stuff to follow... "
