Scope and ContentHudson River Tunnels, Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Co., July 1909. Single leaf, printed two sides, 10-5/8" wide x 8-5/8" high folded to 2-3/4" wide x 4-3/8" high. The date of issue is significant as a new part of the line was to go into service on August 2nd. "Extension of Service On August 2, 1909, the portion of the Tunnel System between the Pennsylvannia Railroad Station (Exchange Place), Jersey City and the Erie Railroad Station (Pavonia Avenue), Jersey City, and the Lackawanna [Delaware, Lackawanna & Western] Railroad Station at Hoboken will be opened for travel, and on and after that date trains will run from the Hudson Terminal [New York] to Hoboken via the Pennsylvannia Railroad and the Erie Railroad Station. The running time between the Hudson Terminal and Erie Station will be six minutes and between the Hudson Terminal and Hoboken ten minutes." Opens to a printed map (in green, red and black) of current lines and intended extensions (except the line to Manhattan Transfer and Newark - note the western terminal was Summit Avenue Station in Jersey City which is now Journal Square.) The other side is devoted to a timetable and text about the system as well as promotion of its new office building and facts about the buildings and tunnels. Artist's rendering of the Hudson Terminal Buildings, "The Largest Office Buildings and Railroad Terminal in the World", is seen on the cover and inset on the map. Promoted connections to steamship lines, other railroads and to the Brooklyn Bridge Station where Express Trains of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. (a part of what is considered the subway system, although at the time, all of this line was elevated) could take a passenger from "Jersey City to Coney Island in 40 Minutes." What is not shown on the map are existing ferry routes which each of the connecting railroads (D.L.& W., Erie and Pennsylvannia) operated and would have been direct competitors.
