Album Info:I took my grandsons, ages 6 and 3 for a ride on newly-restored Belvidere Delaware (Bel Del) trackage northbound out of Milford, NJ. The New York Susquehanna and Western Technical and Historical Society has a crew of track volunteers rehabilitating this ex-Pennsy branch line with the vision of ultimately joining it to currently-active track that extends south from Phillipsburg, NJ to Riegelsville, NJ. The NYSWTHS operates Susquehanna #142, a Mikado-class steam locomotive in tourist / excursion service along the Delaware River heading south (downstream) out of Phillipsburg, NJ. With the track rehabilitation / extension hopefully someday in the future steam locomotive 142 will be able to call at Milford, NJ as it's southern terminus.

Description:  The NYSWTHS operated the special as part of Milford's town festival. This is not a regularly-scheduled tourist ride; hence the "rare track mileage" in the title.

NYSW 142
Title:  NYSW 142
Description:  River Road is literally side-by-side with the Bel Del trackage for several miles between Carpentersville and Riegelsville. My grandsons loved pacing the steam locomotive at close quarters as it chugged southward.
