Route 1[edit]

The railroad can't stop at Route 1 in East Brunswick becuase Route 1 doesn't pass through East Brunswick - do you mean North Brunswick or New Brunswick instead?--138.89.111.149 22:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate tone[edit]

The History section needs major editing to be suitable for an encyclopedia article. It reads like a novel. JGHowes ^talk - 04:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a major edit of this article for tone and conciseness, especially cutting the novel-like account of the May, 1889, Sayreville altercation to be more encyclopedic. JGHowes ^talk - 08:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Time Periods[edit]

Is there a way we can merge the time periods into eras or something? Possibly:

1890-1914
World War I
Interbellum
World War II
Post War
Conrail

I think I might look into doing this. It would make for a better article. --Metallurgist (talk) 02:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
