[NEW YORK OMNIBUS 2629]

On this day in 1966........

The Erie-Lackawanna initiated its biggest service cuts in its shorrt history.

Service on several commuter lines out of Hoboken were either drastically cut back, or were abandoned altogether.

Several through trains were also eliminated, including thef amed "PHOEBE SNOW" (Hoboken-Chicago)

So many of these services could have still been providing valuable service today, had they not disappeared.

Too many vital rail lines in NJ bit the dust during the 1960s.........
