Tuscarora Almanac for September 12

Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Fri Sep 12 13:04:45 2025


Tuscarora Almanac for September 12


1963 – from The Book of Wrecks

A small single engine passenger plane crashes into the Coney Island Yard. The pilot had already bailed out and the plane crashed into an open area in the yard.

Ed. Note: There is never a dull day in Brooklyn.


1971 – from The Book of Last Runs

This will be the last day of operation for Palisades Amusement Park located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The park sat on a nearly forty acre site high atop the Palisades. The park featured a narrow gauge railroad and a monorail as well as the “Cyclone” roller coaster.

Thanks to Steve B-8 Av Exp for bringing this to our attention.

Larry, RedbirdR33

Palisades brought down one of the Mini-rail lines from Expo 67 from Monrtreal for its final few seasons. We didn't go there after 1968, so I never saw that myself.

I'll always remember the distinct, sweet smell from Palisades Park, and the disgusting smell of boiled peanuts (same with Flemington, N.J. BR&W railroad station).

I wonder what airport the single engine plane flew out of?
