Re: (erielack) Northern Trains Reverse Move



The Northern pulled out, leaving Suzy-Q alone for a while...

EL DID run the Northern from Hoboken for a while; TRACKSIDE IN THE EL NJ
COMMUTER ZONE (I posted a review a few days ago) shows one waiting to
leave in September 1966.  It added 10 minutes or so to the run each way...
 It took 24 minutes between Ridgefield and Hoboken, 9 miles.
