RE: (erielack) Pronunciation



And similarly, how did the town of Undercliff (not the same one Tony is
referring to) become Edgewater? (the town on the Hudson River that the NYS&W
served and had its coal and Seatrain piers in)?

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"  :)
