New Jersey & New York Railroad Company, (Horace Bantz, Trustee), Suburban Time Tables, Effective October 25, 1959.
Single folio, 3-3/4" wide x 7-1/2" high, [4] pp.
On page [1], front cover: "Train Designation Lights at Track Gates, Hoboken Terminal. New Jersey and New York Railroad Trains Will Be Indicated by Two Yellow [underlined] Lights (one above the other.)"
Confusingly, this line was also called New York & New Jersey Railroad as well as New York & Jersey Railroad. It was one of the lines of the Erie Railroad and later part of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad. It became part of New Jersey Transit as the Pascack Valley line.
The formal merger of the Erie and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western did not take place until 1960, but since 1956, the Erie had been consolidating passenger operations out of the D.L.& W. Hoboken terminal. In this time table the terminal is called "Erie-Lackawanna Station" as tickets could be obtained for a trip to New York via the Lackawanna ferry service. Thus Hoboken was not a "terminal"as far as passage was concerned.
Although the schedule was listed as weekdays, it did indicate limited Saturday service to Hoboken, but there was no ferry service on Saturdays, so travel to Manhattan would have had to be on the Hudson & Manhattan (the "Tubes") which is not stated. No Sunday trains.
