As a fan of the Erie, I\u2019m drawn to Port Jervis out of curiosity.<\/p>\n

Historically this was an important place on the old Erie Railroad. The Erie passed into history years ago, and now Port Jervis is little more than a minor commuter train terminal.<\/p>\n

Today, it\u2019s Erie heritage is honored at several locations in the town.<\/p>\n

The old turntable west of the Metro-North station was restored in the 1990s. Former Erie E8A locomotive 833 is displayed in Erie paint on the table, with a former Delaware & Hudson RS-3 in a near-Erie livery (lettered for owner New York & Greenwood Lakes) rests nearby.<\/p>\n

Exposed using my Lumix LX7. Not the nicest morning, but the wet dreary condition seem to suit the old Erie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Photo exposed using a Lumix LX7 as a RAW file. I made several adjustments to exposure, contrast and color temperature to improve the overall appearance of the photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not an Erie locomotive, although the Erie had plenty of similar Alco road switcher and these would have been common at Port Jervis in the 1950s and early 1960s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several blocks away is the restored Erie Depot and a nearby business styled as the Erie Hotel [http:\/\/theeriehotel.com\/hotel<\/a>] that boasts historic links with to Erie passenger travel.<\/p>\n

I visited Port Jervis the other day and made these digital photos with my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n

I also a exposed a few color slides and some black & white film (pending processing).<\/p>\n
