But remember Seth, the 30th Street Station on west side and the St. John's
station were on the Hudson River RR portion, the west side line, thus the
change at Spuyten D., not on the line to 125th and GCT and Madison Square
and Centre Street...and we already know trains did go to 30th St at those
dates...
