Diesel Days 2024 at the Illinois Railway Museum

Those last three Lackawanna green (Stillwell) passenger cars with the thatched seats are precisely like the ones I used to ride on in the late 1950s! I am seventy-one years old, and my father worked for the Erie Railroad for forty-five years. He had a Pass, and we rode the trains for free. In 1960, the Erie and Lackawanna merged to form the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad! I remember my dad telling the family about it in our home. Every Sunday, we went to the Hoboken Passenger Terminal and took the train to Suffern, N.Y. We would then walk to the park and the baseball field and stop for lunch. Then, we would return to the train station and ride back to Hoboken. Our passenger train would stop in the rail yard, and another engine would hook up and push us into the station platform. We always exited the passenger car and walked back to see the engine before leaving the platform. The locomotive was always a black and yellow Alco RS (road switcher), which made our Sunday! thanks 🧑‍🎤 🏁 👩‍💼👩‍🎓👩‍⚖️

Was Milwaukee road 760 running?

Maybe the previous days, but not the day I was there.
