Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun May 21 09:40:02 2017 Tuscarora Almanac - May 21, 1967 - The Book of Homecomings Manhattan, New York Shore Line Trolley Museum Third Avenue Railways System trolley car # 629 finally returned to New York today after taking a sixteen year detour to Vienna, Austria, where she was known as # 4239. The car was on display on top of a flatbed trailer in Central Park. She had served on the Third Avenue Railway System from 1939 to 1949 and then was shipped to Vienna. She returns today to go to a new home at the Shoreline Trolley Museum in East Haven, Connecticut. To the best of my knowledge she is still active at Shoreline where she is an integral part of the operating fleet. Tuscarora Almanac - May 21, 1988 - The Book of Wrecks Fairlawn, New Jersey Conrail / New Jersey Transit Rail Operations Two Conrail freight trains have a head-on collision at the "Broadway-Fair Lawn" station, Bergen County Line of New Jersey Transit.

Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Sun May 21 10:51:56 2017, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for May 21, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun May 21 09:40:02 2017. I remember May 21, 1967. It was a cold, rainy day. We were in the city that day, as a matter of fact. My father went to visit his cousin, who was hospitalized with asthma (and wound up on a stalled subway train, either an N or QB, near the Manhattan Bridge) while my mother, sister and I went up to the Museum of Natural History. My father later met up with us at the museum and we all returned to PABT for our return bus to Paterson. I was all too eager to explore the subway, but my request was vetoed. One round trip to the museum via the AA was it that day. |
