I'm attaching a snippet of two Erie schedules from the OFFICIAL GUIDE. The
one on top is from the August 1958 GUIDE, showing service between
Ridgefield, NJ and the Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City. The one below it is
from the June 1959 GUIDE showing service between Ridgefield and Hoboken.

In 1959 all the trains were allotted an additional eight minutes between
Hoboken and Ridgefield, compared to the running time when Pavonia was in
service. The overall running times vary a bit. Both in 1958 and 1959 Train
1204 made the run in from Ridgefield three minutes faster than 1200 and two
minutes faster than 1202. In the evening 1201 was a minute faster than 1203
and 1205 both from Hoboken and Pavonia. That probably had to do with
scheduling conflicts with other trains.
