The attached DL&W flyer is for regular service trains over the Decoration
Day weekend in 1906. It came from a small trove rescued from the Denville
freight house many years ago, just prior to its demolition.



I remember several passenger extras that the EL ran to Niagara Falls in the
early 60's. They had the equipment and were eager to put it to use. The
trains ran up on a Friday night and arrived back on Sunday morning,
sometimes as extra sections of #5 and 6 and other times as passenger extras.
Two straight nights of coach but I wish I had taken the ride.
