One thing you have to keep in mind in regards to a number of N&W and VGN hoppers is that the sides are deeper than most twin- and triple-hoppers, making modeling them a bit more challenging, to say the least. Thankfully they are too young for my purposes so I don't have to worry...

The question was asked about walking during the convention tours.
During the Coke Plant tour there should not be a excessive amount of walking. My understanding is we will have a briefing at the plant office then go to a viewing platform where the process will be explained to us. Next we will walk to the area where the finished product will be pushed out of the ovens. The areas we will touring are close together so there will be some walking but nothing excessive. For the mine tour if we go to a strip mine site I would expect very little walking. If we go to the prep plant depending on the location I would expect some walking but nothing excessive. Over all I would not expect a lot of walking during the tours. Of course as with any tour proper walking shoes should be worn with no open toe shoes allowed.
Remember the coke plant tour is limited to 34 people. Hope this answers your question. So come on and enjoy the tours with us.

Jeff,? Sounds like it will be interesting.? The other part of that question I asked was about the minimum age for the tours?

The question was asked if there is an age limit for the tours?
Unless advised otherwise there is no age limit for the tours That I am aware of. Of course you would not want to bring a toddler or any child so young the are hard to manage as we will be moving in a crowd.

Mike,
Thanks for the lightened photo of the train known as The Broker. The PRR red cars show up better.
My photo of The Broker was made in spring 1957. I liked to go to New York City as often as my modest Army pay (and weekend KP) would allow, and I could walk out the East entrance of Ft. Monmouth and walk to the station at Little Silver where I had a limited selection of trains to the big city (the NY&LB RR was a joint operation of the PRR and CNJ and handled passenger trains of both roads). Or, I could take a local bus to Red Bank where all of the passenger trains on the NY&LB RR stopped, giving me a greater selection of trains to the big city, particularly on weekends.
Incidentally, in the Army I was classified as Physical Science Assistant, assigned to a Research and Development Company and worked in radio interference suppression in the Signal Research and Development Laboratory called "The Hexagon" a la The Pentagon. But this hexagon only had four sides--they had not completed the remaining three sides of the building. One assignment that I had was to help run the interference tests on a "universal" diesel locomotive that GE had just completed for the Army. The loco had multiple coupler, air brake and gauge capabilities, and we conducted our tests on the GE test track at Erie, PA. Another locomotive that I saw at the GE plant on that trip was a brand-new gas-turbine-electric locomotive for the UP RR.
Finally, this trip from Ft. Monmouth to and from Erie, PA, gave me the opportunity to request train tickets of the Army travel bureau such that I rode DL&W RR's Phoebe Snow to Buffalo and a NKP passenger train to Erie. I returned on the NYC RR Empire State Express to the big city, riding in the round-end observation car most of the way.
Some other train trips that I managed to arrange at government expense were an overnight sleeper on the B&O RR, Jersey City to DC (on the way to a interference test on an Army vehicle at Ft. Belvoir, VA), and several other trips on the Northeast Corridor behind GG-1 electric locomotives, such as one trip to Ft. Holabird, MD, to run interference tests on a railway ambulance car that St. Louis Car Co. had built earlier for the Army.
Oh well, these train trips helped me to make the most of my conscripted Army experience.

Gordon,
We are drifting from NW items but your Argus C3 pix stirs a follow-up. I have lightened that shot and attach it plus a Street View from Oceanport Ave. bridge that seems to be where you stood those many years ago. That would be Little Silver, NJ and Parker's Creek which I remember as a grade school kid being where my dad and Bob Carroll took us crabbing on a very warm and humid afternoon. (Later, back home in Jersey City, those crabs came out of the pot and where quite good.)

Mike,
I'm attaching a picture of a PRR K4 powered commuter train outbound on the NY&LB RR near the east entrance of Fort Monmouth, NJ. The train is The Broker out of Jersey City. This was the 18th photo that I took with my brand new Argus C3 camera ("The Brick" with no exposure meter) that I bought at the PX there after saving what I could from my private's pay for several months.

While I have no photos of the Long Branch train action ( although my godfather, Bob Carroll was a fireman on the line) I wanted you guys to know I was employed at Mommouth Park race track the summer it opened as a counterman for the Harry M. Stevens Co. In fact, was there to witness the enormous crowd that came out to celebrate VJ Day.

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.

Brings back memories. I grew up in Monmouth County NJ. My first diesel was 1947, when the
CNJ double cab unit (six were built) was introduced in commuter service. Paint scheme was
similar - dark blue and tangerine, with red accent stripe. No photos available; I was 12 at the time
and we did not have a camera. Later repainted olive drab with yellow stripes - not attractive at all.

Heritage Unit Jersey Central was a DPU on 23G today. Here is passing over the almost 100 year old Columbia Ave structure (1918 shows on the fascia) that supports eight tracks of the Bristol yards.
