During the 1960's, the EL ran a series of large fantrips along the Newburgh Branch right of way. The most photographed of them ask was the 1966 fantrip seen here. Online the others, the leading engine had not yet been repainted by EL and retained it's Lackawanna heritage. It is the only time that an engine with Lackawanna attire traversed the branch and it made for some interesting pictures like this one. The trackage in the foreground used to service one of many coal docks in the New Windsor/Newburgh area. Today, the trackage remains yet it does not see as much action as it once did.
