Westward from Hoboken: - - Bergen Tunnels, then up the former DLW Boonton line that became Erie Main line. - - Connecting track built for the Bergen County Line, commonly known as 'Swamp Switch'. - - Stop once past Croxton and back down the Erie into the Erie tunnel. - - Stop in the tunnel and continue forward onto the Northern. This could also have been used by the NYS&W, but it wasn't. - --- Bob Dobrowolski <el_railfan_@_yahoo.com> wrote: > Now that I have this really cool map to help me understand the > relationship of everything in the Hoboken / JC area, can someone give me > a brief description of the route used by the Northern branch commuter > trains into and out of Hoboken terminal?
