  3. I think more people should know the story of Lucius Beebe. He and his boyfriend Charles Clegg owned several luxurious private railway cars starting in the 40's. He was a journalist and noted fashionista who once appeared on the cover of Life magazine.

  4. 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.
