Broadway Limited - Station Stops

Station Stops

  • New York Penn Station

Until 1933 the train stopped to change engines at Manhattan Transfer, nine miles west of New York Penn Station; passengers from downtown Manhattan could ride the H&M train to Manhattan Transfer and board the Broadway there. After electrification eliminated the engine change the train continued to stop there for downtown passengers until 1937, when the transfer was moved to Newark itself.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or stops:

    [T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    The end of all stories, even if the writer forebears to mention it, is death, which is where time stops short. Sheherezade knew this, which is why she kept on spinning another story out of the bowels of the last one, never coming to a point where she could say: “This is the end.” Because it would have been.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
