"IMG.jpg" - image/jpeg, 480x321 (24bit)

While rootiing around for the picture of Scranton waiting room, I ran across this shot. There's a few fotos that really bring back the EL memories for me & this is one of my favorites. While covering a night yard job in Conkliin, I'd board #40 in front of BY tower in the morning. I usually rode the cab & as we got away from New Milford (which of course was still a stop in 1963) I took this shot thru the cab window of (I think) 817. It shows us approaching the clear signal and shortly will go under the typical concrete hiway overpass that the DL&W had all over the place. Old route 11 is off to the left and on this cold morning, the engineer shared his big thermos of hot coffee. We'll enter the valley ahead & start to climb along the east side of the hills until we cross the Kingsley viaduct & then over the high fills to the Nicholson viaduct. Man, what a great ride!!!

Regards,

Walter E. Smith
