Eighty five firefighters with eight trucks from the Newburgh and New Windsor Fire Departments battle the two alarm blaze. Thanks to their efforts the vessel remained afloat but the upper works were destroyed. As the new bridge would not open for two more years the ferry was given an austere rebuilding and placed back into service. Sources: “Steamboats on the Hudson River” by William H. Ewen Jr (Arcadia Publishing / 2011) The (Newburgh) Evening News, newspaper, July 1, 1961 1966 – from The Book of Last Runs The New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad discontinues all remaining passenger service beteen Sparta Junction and Susquehanna Transfer, New Jersey. Note: The station at Susquehanna Transfer continued to be served by the Northern Branch trains of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad until September 30, 1966 . 1993 – from The Book of First Runs This is the first day of revenue operation of the R-110A on the IRT Division. The train was placed in service at the 96 Street Station of the IRT Broadway - 7 Avenue Line as a southbound #2 7th Avenue Express. 1996 – from The Book of First Runs A new station known as "CORTLANDT" opens today on the Hudson Line. It is located at MP 38 and has a single island high level platform. It replaces the former stations at CRUGERS and MONTROSE. The first train to stop at CORTLANDT is No 8804 at 6:58 AM. 2007 – from The Book of Last Runs The Staten Island ferryboat THE GOV.HERBERT H LEHMAN ended forty two years of service today with the 10:30 PM departure from Whitehall Street. The vessel was tied up at a shipyard on the Kill Van Kull while work was underway to convert her to a restaurant. The plans never came to fruition though and she was subsequently towed to the Steelways Shipyard in Newburgh, New York and was scrapped. Mr. Stephen Bauman added the following: The Lehman's life was probably extended a couple months because both the Marchi (JJM) and Molinari (GVM) broke down on May 6th. It was also the biggest year for the SI ferry - 25K returning Five Boro Bike Tour riders. 4 boat operation was implemented with the JFK and Spirit of America (SOA), in addition to the abovementioned boats. The Newhouse was the backup and placed in service after the first breakdown. The Lehman was recalled out from mothballs after the second breakdown. It had not been used for one month. You should have seen the smoke belching from its stack, when it was started. The Lehman also had a problem. Its PA system failed. It was fixed and the HHL resumed service. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
