Re: (rshsdepot) Maywood, NJ

Here's a thought: Hoboken-bound passengers on the NYS&W from Maywood could detrain at Susquehanna Transfer and pick up a Northern Branch E-L Train to Hoboken (at least after the Croxton "Back up Move" was created for NRR trains in the early 1960's). E-L Employee timetables of the era do show a stop at Susquehanna Transfer for one train. The only advantage would have been to downtown commuters. For uptown commuters it would have been senseless, since buses from the Transfer went to the PA at 42nd St.
