Listen ""Uncle" Dave's Fireside Chat #22"
Episode Synopsis
It’s time once again for another exciting episode of “Uncle” Dave’s Fireside Chat. On this edition of the “chat” Dave tells the history of the latest New Jersey Transit Heritage unit, a replica of Conrail’s 4208 and the behind-the-scenes story of how it came to be, all the folks involved, and the excitement felt around the railroad as it was rolled out during a very special ceremony. Plus we talk about Dave’s excitement with the release of his newest book “Designing and Operating Yards,” which is an update on Andy Sperandeo’s original yard book published some years ago. We find out if there’s plans for another book and what the topic or topics might be. As always, it’s a busy time in the Abeles household and fun to be along for the ride. Enjoy!!
