9. Thanks, brooklynite.

I was thinking that if that terminal handles traffic from Port Jervis, this must be the old Erie Railroad station. Wikipedia informs me that it was actually the old Lackawanna Railroad station, and that the Erie started using it too in advance of their 1960 merger.*

Hoboken Terminal

The Wikipedia entry has already been updated.

The Phoebe Snow was a premiere passenger train that departed daily from the station.[7] In 1956, four years before its merger with the DL&W to form the Erie Lackawanna Railway, the Erie Railroad began shifting its trains from its Jersey City terminal to Hoboken.

It is possible to pick up scanner traffic online for this event. Someone will provide the node.

Thanks for the thread.

* Slaps forehead. Of course. Jersey City was the Erie's terminus.
