(erielack) Erie Main / Graham Line

[A Samostie <quahog_@_sprint.ca>]

Dear Group,

Jog my memory here... what was the reason for abandoning the Erie Main
through Monroe, Greycourt and Goshen?  Was the change initiated by CR,
or by NJT/MTA?

Was Chester also a station stop?  Were there other intermediate stops?

Was the Middletown station relocated as a result?

The Graham Line seems much longer and more sparsely populated.  Were
Monroe and Goshen (fair-sized towns) just conisdered "acceptable losses"
by NJT / MTA, or did the commuter agencies oppose the change?  Have
passenger boardings at the new Graham Line stations risen or fallen as
compared with the old Main Line stops?

Cheers,
Alan <quahog_@_sprint.ca>
