Collections Item Detail

Scope and ContentAnnouncement: "We're Changing Stations." Erie Railroad handbill with notice that "Effective, Saturday, October 13 [1962], all Erie and N.J. & N.Y. trains will use the Erie-Lackawanna Terminal at Hoboken (with ferry service to and from Barclay Street, New York instead of Chamber Street.) Printed leaf, 3-1/8" high x 5-1/2" wide, printed one side. Because of the Saturday October 13th date and the mention of the Barclay Street ferry which was discontinued in 1967, this item is dated as 1962. It mentions that new timetables will be available October 1 so it is likely that this printed item was probably distributed from August onward. Note also that all trains were not moved to the Hoboken terminal.
