Tuscarora Almanac for February 20

Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Thu Feb 20 06:08:30 2020



Tuscarora Almanac – February 20, 1890 – The Book of First Runs

The Bronx, New York
New York and New England Railway

The ferryboat MARYLAND (II) begins service along the East River between 138th Street in The Bronx and the Pennsylvania Railroad terminal at Exchange Place in Jersey City. What we known today as the Northeast Corridor Line was not complete in those days. Passengers travelling between Boston and Philadelphia have to utilize a steamboat between The Bronx and Jersey City. The MARYLAND (II) filled the gap by carrying entire passenger trains across New York Harbor.

I have always found it ironic that trolley service on 5th Ave continued, after the el was taken down in 1941. Not so for the Fulton St trolley line, after its el was removed.

Why does there seem to be a discrepancy between the route number as shown in your post vs the bus number that is used on that route and the route numbers that were displayed on the PCCs like 35, 67 and 69 and retained when those lines were bustituted?
