Hi, new poster here. I'm looking for any information about a Pennsylvania passenger train to the '64 World's Fair that passed through Denton, MD.
I recall waiting with my parents and some other families from Federalsburg at Denton. The train was supposed to show at 4:30AM—I believe it showed up around 7–7:30. It was an E unit five stripe and that's all I can recall, other than it being one heck of a thrill.
Does anyone recall this train? I believe it was a special run from what I remember of my parents conversation (I was 7 years old at the time). Another Pennsy took us home that night. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think we changed trains in Philly, then took the subway in NY.
Specifically, I'd like to get in touch with anyone who may have photos of that day and train, where it originated, the consist, power, train number/designation—anything. Anyone knowing of photos of the old Denton Station—can't find any, anywhere.
Any help would be a boon—thanks, very much.
