My Grandfather Edward Campbell was an engineer on the LVRR from the 1930′s to the late 1950″s. I’m not sure where he traveled everyday but I remember he picked me up from 3rd grade at Our Lady Of Victories grammer School on Ege Ave. in Jersey City and took me too Pennsylvania on a steam engine. It had to be about 1955 and it is my fondest memory of both my Grandfather and the railroad. My Grandfather lied to the Nuns that day to get me out of school.
I don’t think my Mom knew(ha-ha) but she never said anything to me(ever) she knew!!
Great memories of the railroad.
Ps my dad also worked for the LVRR from the end of WW2 to the 1960′s ferrying rail cars to NYC. Great memories I hope to share with my grandchildren soon.

I was wondering if you have a train schedule as to when, each day, you pass through the city of Ithaca, NY. If so, could you please email it to me at 917.415.3685.
Thank you.
