Posted by 3-9 on Tue Dec 6 04:38:27 2016, in response to Re: Former E-L Ferryboat BINGHAMPTON to be Scrapped, posted by SLRT on Tue Nov 29 13:37:58 2016. I rode on the newer Dayliner, in the '70s. It was our first time going "upstate" to Bear Mountain. I didn't pay much attention to the trains at first (didn't know what to look for), but when I went again, years later in high school, I was fascinated with the ACMUs and M1As going up and down the Hudson (off-peak trains were only 3-4 cars, peak trains were only 5-6 cars), as well as the occasional Turboliner. That was when the Dayliner did school specials, which did OK at first. Problems started on later trips though - there was one incident related to a student taking LSD, then there was the time there was a huge riot on board the boat. The captain was urgently trying to dock, but nobody would allow him until they finally mustered enough law enforcement, I guess. Since then the Dayliner was discontinued and the pier is now used by someone else. |
