In 1967, it was just too expensive. PATH was new and they were busy attempting to rescue the system from decades of neglect. Expansion was out of the question.Now, had the CNJ taken over Exchange Place in the 1950's.... The Pennsy and the CNJ should have merged in the 50's. It would have shut out two competitors from the NY market (Reading, B&O) and it would have given the PRR competition for service that was dominated by both Erie and the DLW. Unfortunately, CNJ stock was mostly owned by the hated Reading company so any co-operation before the mid 60's was out of the question. |
