Port Jervis, New York
Many a spectator crowded the area around the turntable to see the C&O 614 use it during the October 1998 excursion.
Susquehanna's Chinese-built Mikado met the C&O 614 in Port Jervis and was on display prior to running with the C&O 614 in October 1998.
The C&O 614 rides the table to meet the Mikado face-to-face.  To this
date, this was the C&O 614's last run, October 1998.
The C&O 614 waiting to receive water from the local fire department as many onlookers gather.  Passengers were allowed to climb into the cab for a view of it.
Here are some of the former PRR cars making up the train during the October 1998 excursion.  The grassy area to the right of the cars was once the wide right of way and yard of the Erie Railroad.
A glimpse of the C&O 614 and its 18-car consist in October 1998.  The two locomotives performed several runbys for spectators.

Susquehanna's Chinese-built Mikado steams with the C&O 614 in October 1998, during the excursion.
 
Here is a full shot of the C&O 614 steaming past the spectators.
This is my favorite shot of the C&O 614.  Blue sky with white clouds and a mountain in the background! 

Here both locomotives pass a signal during the 1998 excursion.  The signal control's movement along CR's Southern Tier line and NJT/MetroNorth trains into Port Jervis.
A pair of New Jersey Transit F40PH's were the "shadow escorts" for the C&O 614.  NJT and Metro North pool equipment for passenger usage on the Port Jervis to Hoboken line.  After a series of runbys, the F40PH's get ready for the run back to Hoboken.
Two Conrail Dash-8s lead a mixed freight train northbound through Port Jervis on the Southern Tier Line in October 1998. (The above average number of people and the red fence are in accordance with the C&O 614, which ran that day.)
About thirty minutes prior to Conrail's arrival, a Susquehanna intermodal train headed southbound came through Port Jervis.
