The Fall Get Together is famous not only as a venue for S scale and for its central New Jersey location but also because one or more of the modules at South Amboy may have contained Homasote, in common with many layouts around the country, including my own. What, you ask, is special about Homasote and the Fall Get Together? The answer is that the nearby Outerbridge Crossing between Perth Amboy and Staten Island, New York, is named for E. H. Outerbridge, founder of the Homasote Company. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenius_H._Outerbridge> -- Bill Roberts, Receiver San Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway Co. * * * Notice to travelers * * * Bicycles, baby carriages, dogs and guns are transported in baggage cars subject to tariff regulations.
