Tickets 1 to 3 were purchased in Rutherford; ticket 4 was purchased in Hoboken and was an out-of-date form, but obviously considered as still useable.
1: January 1966; Form RC; reverse has a Jan. 1965 validation stamp and states "Erie R.R. Co." which indicates that this station did not use updated stamps (see name changes and dates below.)
2: February 1966; Form RC; correct year on validation stamp but still Erie R.R. Co.
3: March 1966; Form RC.
4: April 1966: Form CRM-HB. This ticket is old stock apparently available to the station agents at the Hoboken ticket windows as it one from 1960 or earlier stating Erie Railroad Company at the top. Text about restrictions and holidays varies from the other three. See image with comparison of the March and April tickets.
