An account of the Blizzard of '47 and the stranding of Engine 823 is detailed in Mahopac author Joe Schiavone's new book, "The Old Put…" Schiavone grew up in Granite Springs, and the book is his homage to a lifelong passion for the defunct Putnam line.Thought you'd all want to know.
Schiavone and Morgia will be on hand at the museum next week for a 60th anniversary commemoration of the event, timed to coincide precisely with Morgia's and Rooney's rescue by conductor Harold "Smitty" Smith.
Next stop, Willoughby
