Re: (erielack) Re: Stations and money

The station dates way back and regardless of the technical term or form of 
Government (I'm not familiar with NJ) I remember reading of the 
circumstances surrounding the building of the station, as at the same time 
DL&W was replacing others due to crossing elimination. What the writer 
stated was the cities/towns (now I'm politically correct?) were all asked 
for help as it was a massive project benefiting all.  Some gave nothing, 
some gave little, but Morristown shared a very substantial portion of the 
costs, thus the large impressive station...
