Paterson Protests Erie Railroad Crossing Plan
The Erie Railroad seeks to reopen the Paterson grade crossing elimination order before the Board of Public Utility Commissioners in Newark asserting a new plan. The plan would elevate the main line at Market Street and divert traffic to the Susquehanna and Western routes, eliminating Strait Street Station and potentially reducing crossings west of Market Street. Lincoln says overall train service remains unchanged while danger at Susquehanna crossings would not decrease.
