Erie Lackawanna Hoboken Terminal to Spring Valley

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

2:53 is Bergen Jct. A then-new interlocking that connected the Lackawanna Boonton Line with the Erie line coming from Croxton and Jersey City. 3:17 is Pascack Jct. with HX drawbridge just barely visible in the distance. (ed. note: NJ&NY Jct.) 6:04 is Carlstadt. Station closed 1967 (per Wikipedia). 6:39 is Wood-Ridge-Moonachie. The station stop signed Hackensack was renamed Essex Street under NJ Transit.

How fast did those commuter trains run?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

According to a timetable from 1960 track speed was 60.

Rode the line in the early 70's Spring Valley to Hoboken. Boonton cars first the stainless steel Santa Fe cars.

The track is in much better condition now
