[edit] Beginning of name?
Can anyone identify when then Pascack Valley Line name was first applied to this route? 65.96.180.86 07:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Don't know. The Jones book might tell you. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 06:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More northbound trains than southbound?
I haven't ridden the old Pascack Valley Line probably 30 years (some of the cars still had the old Erie Lack-of-interest logos on them). Good to see it's still running. Looks like they've even added more service (I don't remember anything running as they do now). I just looked at the schedule and noticed they're running 10 trains a day into Hoboken in the morning, and 13 back out in the afternoon. How do they do this? Are they dead-heading 3 trains southbound in the morning? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've wondered that myself every time I look at the schedule. Another theory is that those three extra trains each day are piling up in Spring Valley. Alansohn 20:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible that they change the consists, so the average cars per train is higher in the morning? --NE2 20:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Updates
Cleaned up the parts regarding the passing sidings for readability and to reflect their status as present, active, and regular parts of the service. In other words, they're not really that special anymore and didn't need to dominate the article as much as they did. But they still deserve mention. I think I balanced it well.
Also, I removed the bit about Lodi. The Lodi spur was (and a tiny surviving bit is) part of the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway.oknazevad (talk) 01:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
