Reply to "Railroadiana Items In Your Collection"

Here are a few more vignettes taken at the Whippany Railway Museum. In the first image we see a collection of passenger service memorabilia featuring an interesting assortment of china. Also seen on top of the cabinet is a headlight from the 4039, an ALCo built 0-6-0 currently being restored by the museum. 

The second image features a life ring from the Erie Lackawanna ferry boat "Elmira". The railroad operated its fleet of ferries to provide a connection from Hoboken Terminal to Manhattan. One vessel, the Binghamton, escaped the torch and went on to spend many happy years as a very popular restaurant and nightclub in Edgewater, NJ before closing and subsequently deteriorating into its present derelict condition. So sad.
