Looking Back

SOUTH AMBOY – Working Steam on Bergen Hill. The Raritan’s first eastbound train of the day, with No. 9 on the smoky end and No. 7, a 0-6-0 switcher, behind the caboose, out of sight around the curve, rocks uphill at a ponderous five miles an hour. – from “Highball: A Pageant of Trains” by Lucius Beebe
