	The "Push-Pull" Story
		Shortly to go into service on the Erie Lackawanna Railway is a fleet of 105 new cars and 23 new locomotives purchased by the State of New Jersey at a cost of $26.1 million.
		Since this new equipment is a considerable departure from that which is being operated by Erie Lackawanna, this little leaflet has been prepared to answer most of the questions you may have and to explain the operation.
		Erie Lackawanna is reasonably certain that once the service is started it will operate as trouble-free as anything of this type can be.

	Erie Lackawanna Railroad and Predecessors
		Erie passenger trains were usually made up with the RPO lpost office car directly behind the locomotive, followed by the storage mail cars and baggage car, followed in turn by one or more sleepers, the dining car, and several coaches.
		The Erie Limited, which was the premiere train of the railroad, usually got the best equipment first, then the Lake Cities, and the maids of all work ran with semisuburban coaches that were suitable for either suburban or through line service and equipped accordingly.
		One other Erie Railroad freight train that evolved into a family of trains all its own was the 98, a Chicago to New York manifest train, which was split at Marion into NE98 and NY 98, while the 98 itself carried traffic destined for the Buffalo and Rochester markets.

		The Erie had originated as the New York and Erie Railroad incorporated in 1832, in a sense a successor or parallel to the Erie Canal on land.

	Northern New Jersey: Light Rail's Spectacular Comeback
		With its massive two-level terminal at Hoboken's then-busy Erie-Lackawanna regional railway terminal, the Hoboken light rail terminal served as a hub for regional commuter trains, rapid transit, ferries, and the light rail services which interconnected the region.
		Electric trolleys provided fast, convenient connections with a wide array of other public transport modes – rapid transit and regional "commuter" railways, as well as motor buses and trolleybuses – all of which was highly attractive to the public and made public transport a significant means of mobility, even after the advent of the automobile.
		As noted earlier, the Erie-Lackawanna railway and ferry terminal in Hoboken was formerly a major regional hub interfacing street and interurban LRT lines with the region's heavier railroad and rapid transit services.
