1886 West Shore RR illus. schedule - w/East Hackensack stop!

AUCTION HAS ENDED (no bids!), but can still be seen here:

Description:

Brochure - Train Service Between Albany and New York - West Shore Railroad - N. Y.. C. & H. R. R>R> Co., Lessees. "The finest locations for surburban homes are accessible by the magnificently constructed and finely equipped double track West Shore Railroad, along the picturesque West Shore of the Hudson River, and through the healthiest part of the Hackensack Valley." Inside is a time table, effective June 27, 1886 for train service between Albany and New York. Nice illustrations on both front and back. Measures approx. 4" x 6" when folded. Slight mouse damage at top.



I know, I know - this line runs through Ridgefield Park, Teaneck, and Bergenfield and has nothing to do with Hackensack, but I thought you might find the name of the stop between Ridgefield Park and Teaneck interesting: no, not Bogota..............East Hackensack!

It's also a pretty neat-looking schedule in good shape, considering it will be 125 years old next year.
