"It became a "competition" line in the 1930's when the Reading started operating Philadelphia-New York service in competition to that of the Pennsylvania Railroad."
I don't understand this. What did New York service have to do with the Norristown Line? Didn't the New York trains use the West Trenton Line? Digamma 18:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
We should talk to people like they're not railfans and explain why "Reading-bound commuters would transfer" at Norristown if they took electric service to get there.... I know that the line isn't completely electrified but some clarification is needed. User:NeverSwornToNeverBroken 23:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mogees station closing date
Mogees station was still open (albeit with very limited service) in the late 1980s. I can try to find paper timetable reference but it will be quite difficult. MKoltnow 20:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
The only other reference I can find is on a discussion board [1]. The contributor is Matthew Mitchell, onetime president of DVARP (Del Val Association of Rail Passengers), and although he does not give a date, he asserts that the closure was post-1983. When I started riding the RRD in 1985, Mogees was still a stop with two trains a day each way; Ivy Rock was already closed. I suspect Mogees was closed in the time just before RailWorks. With this, I'll commit the change in the chart in the article. MKoltnow 21:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Finally found via google a link the actual DVRP (monthly newsletter of DVARP) where they listed the announcement of the impending closing of Mogees station as part of a SEPTA service cut, so I'm committing a change to "circa 1993". MKoltnow 14:00, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
