 Today's Photo is from 2017 taken on the Western Division of the Hudson Point & Hawthorne.  
       The fishing must be really good to put up with these locomotives blowing by!


When the Hudson Point & Hawthorne was first conceived the setting was September, 1956. 
NOTHING on the model was newer than that date.  
 The locomotives were also correctly named for the railroad.
The "rule" to keep everything pre-1957  has been relaxed.  
So many  modern models are too nice to ignore.  

This Susquehanna C-630 locomotive (circa 1966-Present) is too modern for the HP&H  by ten years but it runs through on a regular basis. 

The real life susquehanna still operates today.  Their track still runs through Hawthorne New Jersey alongside Grand Avenue.  It passes by grandma's house, virtually in her front yard.
