Tinplate Art, I was born and raised in Hoboken in 1947, so rode the ferries to Manhattan with my parents, and also rode the name trains to East Stroudsburg, as my aunt and uncle and cousins lived in Tannersville, about 10 miles from there. As a teenager, we would sometimes hang out in that beautiful Hoboken Terminal, and took the MU’s to Crestwood Lake to go swimming. Unlike the Phoebe Snow, and other streamlined trains, the MU’s were not air conditioned, so it was windows open all the way. Also the toilets just opened to the tracks! (“Do not flush toilets at station stops”). A great time.
