There will be a special AMTRAK excursion over VERY rare mileage from
Hoboken, NJ to Binghamton, NY and return, over the former Erie RR
mainline and Graham freight line, on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,2004.
Train will depart Hoboken at 7:30AM and return there at 9:00PM due
to 25mph speed restriction on Delaware Division. Trainside catering
for lunch and (carry back on board) dinner will be provided at passengers' own option at the old DL&W passenger station parking-lot
in Binghamton. CONSIST: Up to 13 AMFLEET I 70-seat coaches; 1
AMFLEET snack car; plus PV "NEW YORK CENTRAL 3"--all being deadheaded from PHL 30th Street to Hoboken and back for the excursion behind two AMTRAK Genesis diesels. Tickets cost $185RT in Coach
and $495RT (just 13 seats available) on the "NYC 3", including 3 meals
for PV passengers-only. INFORMATION AND
TICKETS: (a)ONLINE: www.ticketweb.com ; (b)TELEPHONE:
(866)468-7619. As this is probably the first passenger train on the Erie
side west of Port Jervis all the way to Binghamton since November 27,
1966, seats should go pretty fast.
