Approval Given Commuter Cars For New Haven Railroad
The bankrupt New Haven rail road won court approval to lease 50 commuter cars from the Port Authority at a $12 million cost. Judge Robert P. Anderson allowed the lease for 30 years with one reservation, deleting a clause that could let the Port Authority claim a default. The service runs between Grand Central Station and Stamford and New Canaan. The judge kept power to modify or vacate the order and set a later deadline for a rewritten lease.
