RE: (erielack) Pronunciation

Now does anyone know how "Undercliff" became Hohokus (or in older times 
Ho-Ho-Kus)?  And where was 
Prospect Switch, NY?  The original 
plans for the Waldwick, NJ station were, according to the label, drawn for that 
location.

It took me by surprise to learn that it's "bug-OH-tah", not 
"BOW-go-tah"  :)

 

I also laughed at the out-of-town railfan who called that big DL W 
terminal

at the east end "ho-bo-(pause)-KEN"  :)

  On the NYS W it's fun to hear people pronounce Bogota!
