NOV 77

[REVISED 9-15-77 SCHEDULE ATTACHMENT]

RUNAWAY ON THE BLOOM.. The ex-DL&W Bloomsburg Line, steeped in notoriety since the last stand of the E-L F units there in 1974-5,
made news again on September 19th when a runaway train consisting of two units and 25 cars broke loose in South Scranton and
traveled over 18 miles before it derailed at the end of the line in Edwardsville. No one was injured in the wreck. (from the
Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, courtesy of Andy Fabian)

FORMER HOBOKEN SHORE LOCOMOTIVES. both 44-tonners, have been bought and delivered to the New Hope & Ivyland. The former 700, now
renumbered 400, is in McHugh Brothers green and is on lease to the Octoraro Railway (a former PC branch in southeastern
Pennsylvania). The other unit, 701, has been purchased for use by the new Adirondack Railway in New York. (Remsen to Lake Placid).
