| Dad was at the Motel on the Mountain in Suffern in the fall of 1960. I have no idea why. In any event, the motel has a commanding view of the area around Eries Hillburn Yard, which we are looking at way down below. At the east end of the yard, where the tracks go under the NY Thruway, can be seen four trains of Stilwell coaches in the passenger yard just west of the Suffern station. Out of view under the bridge is SF tower. I know dad was just looking to capture the stunning view, but it would have been really cool if he had caught a commuter train-looks like the right time of day from the sun angle-behind an E 8, or a freight with FTs. The multi lane highway sweeping from left to right across the photo is the NY Thruway. The ramps to and from it connect to NJ 17 to the south, as this location is right on the state line. |
