From Dave:

A new book on the Sussex branch of the DL&W by Dave is now available.

From Dave:

Today is July 10th, which to me is Sussex Branch Memorial Day. I chose
this day as it was on this day in 1966 that the last passenger train
traveled from Branchville, New Jersey to Netcong, thus closing a chapter
in Sussex county railroad history. (I fully know that the following
Wednesday, July 13th saw the last service to Newton and that October 2nd
saw the very very last passenger train to Andover.)

A few months ago I began pondering what I could do this year to
commemorate this Sussex Branch Memorial Day. I decided to take the short
stories I had written, gather them together and publish them in book form.

My muse spoke to me, and what was four stories became six, two of which
have never been seen before, even on my website. The book is ready and
being offered for sale on CafePress here:

I do not have any copies to sell directly. At this time the book is
only available from CafePress.

However, if anyone would like a taste of what's in the book, I have
placed excerpts from each story on my website here:
