In the early '50's I had a 4th grade teacher in Denville, NJ who lived in Jersey City and reverse commuted on the DL&W. She took a Boonton Line train (or Steam Train in the vernacular) which was the first westbound out of Hoboken in the morning arriving in Denville at 8:15AM. She then walked the quarter mile to the Main St. School. I don't know what she did when that train was discontinued by the mid 50's, I think she learned to drive as there was no other westbound train that would have gotten her to Denville before the 8:30AM start of school
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
Ah, I'll have to check that out. I've railfanned and excursioned on VRE only but I should probably grab a ticket into WAS to see the lower level. Thanks!!
