When did this ownership change over from the original DO [I recall it as
Rich family???] stockholders? I haven't kept up on NYS&W, although I
should've.
Also, I received a book for Xmas on the D&H Canal and Gravity Railroad
around Honesdale, Pa. Very interesting; next time I'm up there, I have
to do some rooting around the Honesdale/Hawley area. I had no idea the
extent of these operations. I do remember my Dad mentioning these
things from his second-hand perspective. He wasn't born until 1919,
therefore was too young to know actual operations.
