Broadway Limited - Station Stops

Station Stops

  • New York Penn Station
  • Newark Penn Station
  • North Philadelphia (note that the train did not stop in central Philadelphia, instead bypassing it via Zoo Junction)
  • Paoli
  • Harrisburg (engine change from GG1 to diesel-electric units)
  • Baker Street Station (Fort Wayne)
  • Englewood Union Station
  • Chicago Union 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:

    I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    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)
