Erie Lackawanna Railway timetable, effective October 27, 1968. The timetable delineates the schedule of passenger rail service on the Rutherford Line, operating between Bergen County, New Jersey, and New York City. Specific municipalities served include Rutherford, Lyndhurst, and Kingsland.
The front cover features the Erie Lackawanna corporate logo and the designation "Rutherford Lyndhurst - Kingsland and NEW YORK." An advertisement for Neil Simon's "Plaza Suite," playing at the Plymouth Theatre, is also printed on the cover.
Advertisements appearing on the back cover promote the American Red Cross, a Rutherford-based taxi service, and the musical "George M!" at the Palace Theatre. Interior pages present weekday and weekend train schedules for travel between New York and the Rutherford Line stations of Rutherford, Lyndhurst, and Kingsland. The schedules detail connections to Hoboken Terminal and the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) system. Additional advertisements are included for "Hello, Dolly!" at the St. James Theatre, U.S. Savings Bonds, and information regarding Medicare enrollment. Train operation instructions reference a "double white light on train indicator board at Hoboken."
High-resolution images are provided for detailed assessment of the timetable's physical condition. Close examination of these images is recommended to evaluate any existing folds, tears, stains, or other surface markings. The images also illustrate the folded dimensions of the timetable.
The date, route, and advertisements offer primary source documentation related to Erie Lackawanna Railway operations, suburban commuting patterns in the New Jersey Meadowlands, and contemporaneous theatrical productions. This item is of potential research value to scholars of railroad history, transportation studies, and American cultural history circa 1968.
