<DIV>Thanks to all who pointed out that Pennsylvania Station in New York City
had not yet been opened when the Bluefield newspaper announced that the Gary
Pullman's northern terminus was being switched from Philadelphia to
Jersey City. So, the PRR trains as of the March 6, 1910, effective date in
the article would have terminated at Jersey City's Pennsylvania station, later
known at Exchange Place, where passengers would have taken a ferry, or the
Hudson Tubes, across the Hudson to Manhattan. I rode into and out of
Exchange Place several times in the late 1950's when the PRR still used
that terminal for a few of its New York and Long Branch RR trains, such as
its named commuter train, The Broker. Although it entailed a ferry ride or
a ride on the Hudson Tubes, trains like The Broker provided a more direct access
to Wall Street than those that used Manhattan's Pennsylvania Station, which was
farther north.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal> Commencing March 6th the Pullman car
which now runs between Gary and Philadelphia will run between Gary and Jersey
City. The Pullman from Roanoke will be discontinued to Jersey City and
the Gary Car will do the work. For a number of years every man from this
section who has visited the union station in Philadelphia has smiled and
thought of home when he saw a sign at the station saying, "This car for Gary,
W. Va." They can now be at home in Jersey City as they will be greeted
by a sign across the river from New York which will say in large type, "This
car for Gary, W. Va." Locally the car will have to be called the New
York special, as the people in this section will feel that they are not being
treated right unless they feel that all the world knows that a car runs direct
from Gary and this city to New York.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" class=MsoNormal

<P class=MsoNormal>[<EM>There are two thing puzzling about this report.
One, the June 1915 Official Guide shows the New York connections then were
over the PRR into Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan--not Jersey
City. Could B&O trains have been used to Jersey City in 1910?
Two, this same 1915 guide shows Trains 1 and 2 on the Shenandoah Valley
route handling a Pullman between Winston-Salem and New York and a
Pullman between Gary and Philadelphia. If the latter were shifted
to Jersey City in 1910, it apparently was shifted back to Philadelphia by
1915.</EM>]<o:p></o:p></P>
