(erielack) re: PA's on the NRRNJ



Chris and list:  I rode the next to last train, the earlier Saturday run, on Sept 30, 1966.  Later that night, 3 RS3's pulled all 15 stillwells south in one train, non-stop from Nyack to Hoboken (complete with the switchback at Croxton to get up onto the  Boonton line for Hoboken).

And to answer another of Alan's questions -- the middle train each way stopped at Susquehanna Transfer.
Freight still runs as far as Closter, with quite a few customers in Englewood and south.

Track ends at the state line in Norwood, near what used to be Ma Skinner's tavern, the first joint in New York and the destination for many an 18-year-old Jerseyite.
