I thought I would add two pages from a 1951 DL&W suburban timetable showing
the arrival of TR 26 and departure of TR 1011. The calendar picture
indicates that the Hudson may have spirited "The Merchant's Express" along
the cut-off arriving a few minutes ahead of schedule at Dover. 26 picked
up passengers at Dover and offered a first-class commuter service for
passengers bound for Newark or Hoboken. The only other thru-train that
picked up passengers at Dover was TR 10. I would not be surprised to find
1011 carrying milk cars for Port Murray Dairy as well. In later years this
train would leave Hoboken in mid-morning and return in late afternoon. It
ran until the mail contract was cancelled.
