1939 Worlds Fair |
| Description: |
I think my grandfather may have actually shot the 1939 Fair photos-Dad was seven at the time-but Ill include them in Dads album. Heres a shot of what looks like a B&O 4-4-0, probably a replica. |

| Title: |
1964 Worlds Fair |
| Description: |
Twenty five years after the 1939 Fair, there was another one in New York. The Long Island RR had an exhibit there with a fabulous model railroad layout featuring LIRR equipment. Hopefully Ill find the slides of that. Im sure Dad took some. There was also a "live diesel" railroad around the exhibit, with a train you could ride. As I recall, it had an EMD cab unit-odd, since LIRR would not get their first EMDs for another dozen years, but I guess the people who built the amusement park trains didnt make FM C Liners-and open cars. Thats me at the ripe age of five in the summer of 1964, enjoying the ride. |
