The NYC coach #43,Hickory Creek and PRR baggage car will be on the "Toys" Train this year on the NYSW, when it's gets to the M&NJ,they will be adding their newly painted baywindow caboose.
Not sure what power is going to be used on those trips(Dec.7th & 8th). The NS H-02 crew from Dover should be moving the coaches from Boonton(URHS shop) to Saddle Brook,N.J.(NYSW) on
Thursday, Dec.5th. and bringing them back to Dover on Tues.Dec.10th to be in position for the M&E trips on Dec.14th and 15th. again don't know what power is going to be used.

Just caught it going through the Chester/Blooming Grove NY area on the M&NJ. Very cool to see Hickory Creek on rails 10 minutes from my house.
