New and Old

[NW Mailing List]

Jerome,
Greetings from Red Bank.
While I grew up in Norfolk, my military career kept circling Ft Monmouth,
so I've retired here.Jersey Central was gone by the time I got here and
Conrail "circus trains" ruled the NY&LB (North Jersey Coast Line).
Then came the southern E8's until the end of steam heat.
Now all electric to Long Branch! They have no soul, but the commuters 
love them by comparison.
