Because my grampa J spent 45 of his 65 years with the New York Central (later the Penn Central) Railroad, I kinda have a thing for New York Central-related stuff like this: the New York Central’s locomotive 5232 heads up a 20th Century Limited along with a locomotive at the head of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited. I read over time the two railroads used to race their most prestigious trains out of Chicago for about 20 miles. Painting by Howard Fogg.

Managed to attend the United Railroad Historical Society's Open House in Boonton, NJ. Despite the rain a good crowd came out.
As always, this is just the teaser post. I will have my extended cut over on my tumblr.

My grampa J worked 40 years for the New York Central Railroad and five more for what became the Penn Central in 1968: a westbound NYC “milk train,” with a Hudson 4-6-4 locomotive, rolls along the Hudson River west of Peekskill, New York on 16 November, 1946. Photo by Donald Furler. According to his son, Alan, the original 5x7 negative resides in the Donald W. Furler Collection at the Center for Railroad Photography & Art in Madison, Wisconsin.
