Re:Re: (erielack) Re: CNJ Interchange

Perhaps the thought was that anything between Erie's northern New Jersey industrial or consumer base and the New Haven's southern Connecticut consumer or industrial base could as easily go by float instead of going halfway to Port Jervis and then halfway to Albany just to come back or vice-versa.  Besides, any such rate might have been based on the shorter mileage, making Maybrook the less economical alternative.

What I'm interested in learning is why the Erie did any float business with  the NH at all, given the Maybrook Gateway (at least 1908-1960). . .
