Introduction
The Erie Railroad has been gone since October 17, 1960 when it merged with the Lackawanna to form the Erie Lackawanna. The Erie Lackawanna has since disappeared and was first replaced by Conrail on April 1, 1976. Then on January 1, 1983 most lines in the state of New Jersey became part of NJ Transit with Conrail still running the freight service. With the breakup of Conrail on June 1, 1999, Norfolk Southern became the freight carrier on the former Erie lines. This book will cover the time frame from the 1930s to the merger with the Lackawanna.
I was employed by the EL from 1962 until 1977 (the last year under Conrail) and worked a number of stations on the "Erie Side" during that time. Working on this book has brought back many fine memories of that time, especially during the first couple of years of my employment, when the Erie was still on people's minds.
Let's go back and take a look at a time when things were not so hectic.
