Wonderful narrative, thanks for sharing it.

In picture 1, is that a former Lackawanna Railroad MU coach peeking out from the right side of the station?

I didn't photograph it from the outside but this might be the interior?

Thanks for the picture.  The interior doesn't look DL&W, with its beat up wicker seats, etc
