Re: (erielack) Pascack Valley / NJ&NY name change?

Dear Joe and List,

One last jog of the memory:  
When the Erie went bankrupt in 1939, it cut the NJ&NY loose "just like the 
Susquehanna," page 29 ERIE LACKAWANNA: DEATH OF AN AMERICAN RAILROAD, by H. 
Roger Grant, 1994.   That explains the "trustee" name on the timetables, but 
I have yet to unravel the reason Erie continued to operate the line.  Later 
in the same book, Grant explains that the NJ&NY bonds were rolled into the 
Erie Lackawanna Railway of 1967-1968.
The book does not explain the Pascack Valley name.
