Re: (erielack) DL&W: Scranton to Hoboken for Yankee Stadium.



If the railroad didn't run a special ferry to and from the stadium, it was
quite a trip, depending on what year.

The obvious route today is PATH from Hoboken to 33rd St and D train from
34th.  That would have been a good route any time after the 6th Avenue
line opened.  Before that, it probably would have been easier to take the
H&M to Hudson Terminal, walk to Broadway, then Lexington Avenue express to
the stadium.
