ELDCPS sponsored Train at Moscow Station
The Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society sponsored its Pocono Mountain Excursions. The trains consisted of Dining, Pullman and Lounge cars pulled by an E unit in Erie colors and a D-L unit. On Saturday November 10th, the ELDCPS train operated between Scranton and Cresco. The trains also made station stops at Gouldsboro, Tobyhanna. Paul Hart remarked at a past meeting that "this was probably the first time a passenger train left from Moscow Station in 40 years...".
The webmaster rode the trip from Moscow to Cresco with his nephew. With a light dusting of snow on the ground in some places, it was a very nice trip
