Beginning of name?

[edit]

Can anyone identify when then Pascack Valley Line name was first applied to this route? 65.96.180.86 07:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know. The Jones book might tell you. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 06:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More northbound trains than southbound?

[edit]

I haven't ridden the old Pascack Valley Line probably 30 years (some of the cars still had the old Erie Lack-of-interest logos on them). Good to see it's still running. Looks like they've even added more service (I don't remember anything running as they do now). I just looked at the schedule and noticed they're running 10 trains a day into Hoboken in the morning, and 13 back out in the afternoon. How do they do this? Are they dead-heading 3 trains southbound in the morning? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible that they change the consists, so the average cars per train is higher in the morning? --NE2 20:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Updates

[edit]

Cleaned up the parts regarding the passing sidings for readability and to reflect their status as present, active, and regular parts of the service. In other words, they're not really that special anymore and didn't need to dominate the article as much as they did. But they still deserve mention. I think I balanced it well.

Also, I removed the bit about Lodi. The Lodi spur was (and a tiny surviving bit is) part of the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway.oknazevad (talk) 01:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Penn Station 2017?

[edit]

What? Either this refers to something completely different or the article says that a service that I have been using for a while is not coming until 2017. I take the PV line to Secaucus and then I take a train that goes directly to Penn Station. —harej (talk) (cool!) 00:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So as it turns out, the train to the city is Northeast Corridor / North Jersey Coast Line. @harej 21:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well. With the construction of the Trans-Hudson Express Tunnel, several lines will connect to Penn Station, like the Pascack Valley and Raritan Valley.Mitch32(Want help? See here!) 21:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

System Map Update

[edit]

The map that is currently on the page is incomplete. The map doesn't show the length to Haverstraw and does not show the former alignment before the opening of Secacus Junction 173.70.107.240 (talk) 03:02, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Toxic Waste & Building the Rail

[edit]

This PDF from the EPA covers alot of information, including why the rail got its name. I'm a horrendous writer, so I'll leave this to someone who is more gifted. http://www.epa.gov/Region2/superfund/npl/0200101c.pdf The final paragraph of page 2, Cleanup Progress is the pertinent text.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.26.226.175 (talk) 20:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, this has nothing to do with the Pascack Valley Line. The Meadowlands Rail Line, yes, but that is a separate line with a separate article and a name that is as obvious as could be. I don't see how any of this is useful to this article. oknazevad (talk) 21:28, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The pascack Valley Line

PEARL RiVER ; NANUET ; SPRING VALLEY ; WOODBINE ; Suffern (Port Jervis Regional) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.93.178 (talk) 20:50, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Woodbine? I thought that was a yard. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 13:15, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is. It's not even along the former connection that would allow trains to go to Suffern, but along the former extension to West Haverstraw. The anon has no idea what he's talking about, and this conversation has already gone in too long. oknazevad (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
