(erielack) Ron Durkarm photos > Hoboken Terminal, etc.

I had a few minutes and was looking at some of these.

First, just a big thank you for posting all these great photos. It's a 
bit overwhelming at times, there are so many, and so many cool things to 
look at. I'm not a big roster-shot guy, rather iIlike to look at what 
many may consider peripheral details, to get the flavor of the time.
So, a few questions:

Sam Sloan is still in the plaza, looking southwest. I like him where he 
is now, looking  northwest, surveying the Erie empire. What are those 
mail trailers doing over there? Was there a sorting facility in there at 
one time? Is that Barclay Street Ferries sign still there? If  not, what 
happened to it? Scrapped?

Contrast this grim shot of the interior of Hoboken Terminal with the 
vibrant place it is today. What a difference uncovering the Tiffany 
ceiling made! And getting rid of those lockers and other junk. The 
locomotive model is still up on the wall above the men's room.

Now that is one beautiful locomotive! Not Harvey Springstead's 970, but 
another well known engineer? What are those conductors doing over there 
on the left? Armstrong turntable?


Again, thanks for posting all these great photos!
