"Scan-140306-0001.jpg" - image/jpg, 1196x960 (24bit)

We are planning my 50 year class reunion from Dansville, NY (-Lackawanna’s
grade up out of the Genesee Valley into the Susquehanna River water shed at
Wayland 7 miles to the east), and people have been digging through old
photos and someone found the attached-GREAT GREAT photo. The photo shows the
class in front of a Lackawanna Train, at what I have determined to be Mt
Morris, NY. From emails with classmates that attended public schools, I
went to Catholic grade school, they left Dansville in the morning and went
to Mt Morris—affirmed. They boarded train#15 “The Owl” an overnight mail
and passenger train that departed Dansville at 10:59 AM and arrived at Mt
Morris at 11:23 where the bus met the kids and took them back to Dansville.
Nice—REALLY NICE archive photo!

NOTE: We still have room for more for the bus-train trip on Aug 17. We
hired a second bus and Dave ordered a third train car. Contact us to
reserve your spot. $10 per person for bus. Leaves at 10:30 am from the
Farewell Brunch at the Coffee Cup. You can purchase brown bag lunch to take
on the bus just like when kids. Below see those signed up so far--75 of
us!!!





Thanks to Julie Rowe Dougherty for the photos



Miss Emerson's pre-primary class 62 years ago took a bus-train trip. Does
that sound cool? Well we will do it again on Aug 17---sorta. This time it
will be a DCHS bus taking us to Railroad Tycoon Dave Monte Verde's Genesee
Valley Special in Brockport.



Dave:



I remember hearing about these trips; they’d take a school bus to Mt Morris
11 o’clockish AM, get on the Phoebe Snow and ride it to Dansville, where the
bus would then meet the train and take them back to school. What a darling
picture!
