While you observe "New Jersey is not the center of the universe" this sneering comment cannot be made about Denver. But clearly you do not speak for the consensus. </p> <p>New Jersey's rail transit system began before the Civil War. We have some of the oldest railroad suburbs in the nation. Planners call them "pearls on a string." Relative to other places in the US we had a very large number of people who commuted by train when New Jersey Transit started. It has quadrupled from a high base. </p> <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> <div style="clear:both;"><strong>John i would add to the NJ types</strong></div> <div style="clear:both;"><strong>1.
