“Erie-Lackawanna in the New Jersey Area” by Dan McFadden

Dan McFadden presents “Erie-Lackawanna in the New Jersey Area.” An avid railfan, rail photographer, and past presenter at other societies, Dan McFadden gives us a look at his collection of Lackawanna and Erie Lackawanna photographs shot around New Jersey, from the late 1950’s through the merged Erie Lackawanna Railroad, through Conrail and into the New Jersey Transit era. Besides pictures, Dan includes some sound recordings of trains and tower operations, and some brief video from the past. Included is a sound movie of operations during an epic ice storm at Hoboken, featuring the classic Lackawanna green MU’s, and some video of the railroad's ferries and car floats on the Hudson, with Manhattan in the background.
