Steam & Excursion > HICO History ContinuesDate: 05/13/25 15:47 HICO History Continues Author: scoopdejour NEW VIABLE CUSTOMERS - Nickel Plate Historical and Technical Society, N&W Historical Society, Reading & Northern RR, The Strasburg RR, and the National Museum of Industrial History (Bethlehem, PA) are as happy with my book as I am. Also, full color ads in Railfan and Railroad magazine and access to the geneal public via Amazon. Perhaps The Good Lord will bring in more since I have additional book prersentations to make.
I'm very grateful to all those who invested in a book whose story was worth telling! Thanks Hank Webber - Author The History of The High Iron Company  Date: 05/13/25 17:08 Re: HICO History Continues! Author: rkennedy2 Love the book. On my coffee table.

Thanks rrcaboose Date: 05/16/25 16:29 Re: HICO History Continues! Author: march_hare I haven't bought one yet, but I intend to.
one simple question before that: was the Memorial Day 1973 trip from Hoboken to Binghamton the last trip that HICO ran? I ask because that was the First fantrip that I ever rode. I was 15 at the time. Date: 05/19/25 19:24 Re: HICO History Continues! Author: scoopdejour Thanks!

Author: NKP779 Steamtown USA operated and promoted that trip with NKP 759 themselves. HICO was not involved at all. I was with a carload from Indiana and Ohio who chased that trip and it looked like a sloppy operation. The Steamtown cars were not too impressive- in fact some were pretty ratty. Awful paint and I don't think it was over 8 or 9 cars long.
