Well, the Susquehanna Railroad, NJ Transit and the Susquehanna Technical & Historical Society have added their third, and biggest, weekend of steam trips for 2003. 2-8-2 #142 will lead two excursions from North Jersey to Port Jervis, NY. Tickets are only $40 for mainline steam. These trips, the weekend of the 25, follow two days of runs out of Lincoln Park on 10/5&6 plus the successful trips out of Dunellen two weeks ago. The NYS&WT&HS is "the" steam sponsor of the year in the east, combining smart destinations with familiy-freindly ticket prices. Kudos! Rob Port Jervis Trips Site rdavis@rypn.org |

If you can afford it, get the Deluxe seating as the coach seating is in the high density ex-LIRR coaches from hell! I have heard rumors that another group has BIG steam plans on this line next year. Anyone know the details? |

It is a pro and con. The deluxe seats in the RDC are nice, but the windows are sealed. The LIRR cars give you a better listening positions, since the windows open. > I have heard rumors that another group has > BIG steam plans on this line next year. > Anyone know the details? I haven't heard this yet. There are very few "BIG" steam options... Port Jervis Trips Site rdavis@rypn.org |

Insurance is paid up through September 2004, they got a very satisfactory rate, and they're going to do their best to take advantage of the opportunity. Or so the folks up at Harrison Street said.

Doug, Perhaps you are right. I heard that the City of Port Jervis was looking to have some trips originate there to take advantage of the turntable they rebuilt. I know the 261 visited Steamtown so PJ isn't that much further. |
