	Actually, if my memory serves me right, the Aldene Connection was put 
into service on April 30, 1967.

	More important, though, commuters on the Raritan Valley Line never 
had direct rail service to New York.  Prior to 1967, they had to ride to 
Jersey City and transfer to ferryboats.  So the Aldene Connection certainly 
did not make it any worse for these commuters.
