Royal Blue Line to Pennsylvania Station
Posted by ZephyrOverland on Friday, June 30, 2006 9:58 PM
When B&O Royal Blue Line route passenger trains were rerouted to/from New York's Pennsylvania Station during WWI, what was the exact routing north of Philadelphia? Looking through some Offical Guides of that era, this is what I pieced together - I'm not sure if this is correct:

PRR - New York Pennsylvania Station - West Newark Junction
Lehigh Valley - West Newark Junction - Manville
Reading - Manville-Wayne Junction

Success! Thanks to the Jersey Chapter NRHS website, I was able to determine how B&O Royal Blue Line passenger trains operated to/from New York's Pennsylvania Station:

PRR - Pennsylvania Station - Manhattan Transfer
LV - Manhattan Transfer - Manville
RDG - Manville - Wayne Junction
B&O - Wayne Junction - Washington
