The cash receipts for the Metro North trains, like their Jersey counterparts, except for now showing Conrail, looked largely like the PC forms they replaced. Here are cash tickets from the Hudson and Harlem Lines. Note the Harlem ticket: no Southeast, not even Brewster North, which was the name before Southeast, and the last stop is Dover Plains. It was a long way up there, and required a train change at Brewster. The line originally went to Chatham, where it connected with NYCs Boston & Albany, but was cut back in 1971 after the last PC train came off prior to Amtrak. The line was extended to Wassaic, but the rest is still empty roadbed, getting more and more treed in. |
