In 2015, I went to see this modular HO layout with members of my school’s train club. We took a Burlington Northern train to Haddon Heights, and then a Rio Grande train back to base in Medford Lakes.
Do you know Ms. Murray? She was our original club president, she’s a science teacher and she does dry ice labs thrice a year. She has a silver Chrysler PT Cruiser, and gets the dry ice from Mack the Ice Man in Runnemede, which is close to Haddon Heights. I bet the DSMRRC members get their ice there too.
Unfortunately, one member of the DSMRRC told one member of our club, Jon Stech, that an Amtrak coal train to from Camden to the power station at Beesley’s Point was going to pass through Haddon Heights, but we didn’t have enough time to watch it pass, so instead we went back to Medford Lakes via Rio Grande. Sadly, Jon graduated from our school system in 2016, and is now looking at becoming a fireman because when he was little, he remembers watching “There Goes a Fire Truck” a million times. I sure hope he puts a siren on his car and goes WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW!!!!
