Remarks & Notes

The turret of the former Jersey Central Mauch Chunk (Jim Thorpe) station looms over the newly-restored 1554 on the weekend of the RS3's dedication. The 1554 played a big part in the CNJ's retrenchment from Pennsylvania. Not only did it lead the last passenger train out of Allentown, it also powered the funeral (cleanup) train when the Jersey Central pulled out of the Keystone State for good in 1972. At the throttle is Jonathan Reck, president of Hawk Mountain Chapter, NRHS. Hawk Mountain bought and restored the 1554.
