Last Boonton Line Train

Last Boonton Line Train:

I need some help with the final date of operation over the Boonton Line trackage through Arlington, Rowe Street and Benson Street. My records show the date as Thursday, September 19, 2002. Should it have been Friday, September 20, 2002? The new interim schedule went into effect on Monday, September 23, 2002.

In 2002 the Boonton Line ran weekdays only in in 2002 so Friday would have been the logical day to curtail the service.

I would appreciate any information.

Thanks

Larry, RedbirdR33

Between Friday, September 20 and Sunday, September 29, NJ TRANSIT will complete work on the Montclair Connection, allowing for the smooth transition to the new MidTOWN DIRECT service on Monday, September 30.

Could mean something to this.

Here's the original Montclair Boonton Brochure. Service ended Friday evening Sept. 20, 2002 (page 3).

The first week (9/23-9/27) the connection was operated with electric service from Montclair Heights to Hoboken only. MD service began on 9/30.

Technically, this not the Boonton line, but the Greenwood Lake branch.

Silence: Thank you for the link. The information that I wanted was in the first paragraph. I will adjust the Book of Last Runs accordingly.

I think it's time to publish your books of First and Last Runs, and Wrecks!

Bob: If I knew how to do that I might. But there is so much more left to do, opening and closing dates of the subway and el lines among other things.
