Posted by Joe on Fri Jul 24 17:11:04 2015, in response to Photo of NYC varnish at St. John's Park Terminal, Lower Manhattan, posted by Olog-hai on Fri Jul 24 14:37:46 2015. In the late 1940's, railroads were more amenable to railfan trips, especially as the numbers were pretty strong, behavior sensible, and equipment available. Dad brought me on a trip from St. John's Park with a 500, possibly this trip. It was not varnish, just NYCRR coaches, probably from the commuter fleet. Memory is that it included a run under St. Mary's Park on the Port Morris Branch in The Bronx. I think we finished at GCT. Does anybody have a date for this trip?--- I can't be sure of this, but the sponsor may have been the NY Division of the ERA (which then met in the Penn Station railroad Y) or a group known as the Joint Railfan Trip Committee.
