What you see at the Water Gap are car wheels from a wreck about 10 years after the steam locomotive was wrecked. Now there is reported a Morris and Essex (DL&W) locomotive in a river near Newark.

I have heard rumors of a DL&W engine that supposedly has found a home at in the Delaware Water Gap? The story goes something like the engine was involved in a derailment in the the river and the Lackawanna found recovery infeasible? Anybody if there is any truth to that or does it have all the veracity of a supermarket tabloid? (fun to talk about, but utterly devoid of fact) |

I have heard that story too, don't know the whole truth. I seem to remember that its not the whole engine down there, just parts of it. My father also told me that while scuba diving in the 60's he saw a steam engine on the bottom of Lake Hopatcong in NJ. Not sure on that either, my dad has been known to exagerate.Anyone know the truth of either story? |
