Post subject:  Morris County Central 385

Stopped by the Whippany Railway Museum and rode on one of their "Last Run of the Lackawanna Electrics" commemorative excursion runs aboard the Jersey Central lounge car. I was happy to see #385 looking beautiful on static display. She hasn't run under steam since 1978, but even if she doesn't run again I'm glad they saved and preserved the locomotive. Apparently #4039 is in pieces awaiting a new boiler, so maybe there will be steam in Whippany once again someday.
