BUT-the CNJ terminal at Communipaw dates to 1868, the last terminal building
that is today preserved was opened 1889, so I am not sure how the early
1900's would have anything to do with when Communipaw was first used by
CNJ...if B&O had Washington to St. George early 1900's that was stopped for
another reason...

PS-I for one like when a long thread like this is going-hell I get so many
messages that want me to make 50,000 dollars a day, what is the big \deal
about lots of messages...it is not like they are large or anything really...
