It appears that there was even less publicity for this final trip to the Delaware Water Gap than the first two. Can someone who rides or chases this trip please give us a report, especially the passenger count. |

The "souls on Board" count was 308, with approx. 85 who opted to detrain at East Stroudsburg, PA. The rest were involved in the derailment. About 2 dozen or so decided to have relatives or friends pick them up from the Water Gap; whereas the rest waited for the Rescue Train. 3 DL&W MU coaches, and DL C636 no. 3642. The two private cars and combine 303 were added to the rescue consist, and had a good nighttime ride back to Scranton. http://www.nps.gov/stea/ |
