Andy Date: 06/28/20 19:55 Re: Amtrak special at Beaumont 1982. Author: overniteman Nice shot from Steve Gartner. I traded tons of slides with him and he drove to New Jersey back in the 1970's as he had relatives here.
I gave him a whirlwind tour of North Jersey (Croxton, E'port, Oak Island, Kearny, etc.) He sent me a mess of slides he took on his drive back to California. Helluva nice guy. Date: 06/28/20 20:00 Re: Amtrak special at Beaumont 1982. Author: WAF Trip to Indio

Request was for two 700's, but manageament said could not depend upon two to make the trip. Date: 07/01/20 21:47 Re: Amtrak special at Beaumont 1982. Author: AndyBrown Thanks for the additional info guys and nice to hear from the original photographer! Sounds like a great excursion to have been on; would love to cover that territory in daylight.
Love the comment about the concern of the big GEs not making it! Andy |
