Hey guys,

Is anyone going to the URHS open house in Boontoon NJ? They have two GG1s, two E8s (both NJ Transit veterans, one in NJ DOT paint, the other in New York Central), a Reading F7 that is actually a former NJ Transit unit as well.

Apparently, the last U34CH will also be there.

Here are the details- urhs.org/blog/transportation-heritage-festival-2014/

I will not be in attendance, I will be away for the weekend.

I looked at the website though and it looks like they have an all-star lineup for the weekend. The G's would be super cool to see. One day I hope that a preservation group gets a GG1 operating again.
