My grandfather worked there during the depression and subsequently lost his job during those years
Remember as a child seeing the Penn Central RS-3 by the old train station that subsequently became a restaurant
Yes, The RS-3's! I remember playing little league baseball on Cook Field (now Redmond Field) in Yonkers. I was always in strategically significant (???) right field, which usually gave me the chance to watch some slow moving Put freights just beyond the border of the field to the right-of-way. This was in the 1960's-70's. It was usually more fun than the games!
