Last Run of Commuter Stillwells

Last Run of Commuter Stillwells

EL E-8 829 leads the last eastbound commuter train with Stillwell coaches towards Hoboken, passing through Ridgewood Jct, NJ. The evening westbound run would feature 1 E8 and 3 coaches, after that, no more E8s or Stillwell coaches.
Wow the handsome coaches aside you can't beat a trio of E-units!
 
Love the photo!! I remember going to Ridgewood Jct alot with my father back in the mid 1970's (1975-1977/8) when I was a kid. Of course the E-8's and the Stillwells were gone by then. Now you cannot even get that shot as the adjacent lot has been developed into a self storage building.
 
I work for a museum that operates a few of these ex ERIE stillwells. -Dan Ruffner
 
well n01jd1... where were you when this final run occured? Seems to me Larry Garrison was there, and myself, but no one else!
