Welcome to the "Project 565" Guestbook! Leave a little message to us as to what your thoughts are about the restoration project! There is but one simple rule: keep it civil! While we are fine with passion, anger will not be tolerated, nor will rude language. Other than that, enjoy yourselves!

I was with the Morris County Central and remember this engine and Tony Citro had it moved from his resturant to the MCC RR Shop at Newfoundland NJ. It's a great looking engine and I hope to someday see it under steam.
Keep up the good work! Restoring any steam locomotive is a worthwhile endeavour. Cheers from Australia.
In regard to the post of August 31, 2001: A friend tells me that i must have went on a Pennsylvania train since the D L & W did not service Phillipsburg, NJ. Perhaps I should not have asked this question on this forum. If not could someone point me in the right direction to get this info.
I congratulate you who are restoring a lost part of my childhood. I was born in 1941 near the Cutoff of the DL&W in Portland, Pa. Can anyone tell me when Passenger service was discontinued from the Portland Station? I remember getting on a train in Portland and going to Phillipsburg ,NJ. I was no more than 6 or 7 years old. Do any of you historians know the date the passnger service was stopped. This has been on my mind for a time and both of my parents are long gone.
Keep up the great work. I went to Steamtown for the first time in April 2011 and loved it.
As I sit here on a Sunday night and prepare for the work week ahead, I read about the 565 project and wish I could just chuck it all and join you guys! All the very best with the project, and I look forward to learning of your continued progress!
Keep up the work, After a cosmetic restoration, are there any thoughts on a full restoration to working order. ? A lot bigger project, but worth thinking about, as how many larger 2 - 6 - 0 s are left in working order. ?
This is an awesome project. A similar project is going on in Spencer, NC with old trains.
Len,
I wish you and your team the best of good luck with your worthy project.
