Town to Oppose RR Service Cut

Newton Town Attorney Albert Silverman has been directed by the town committee to appear before the New Jersey Public Utilities Commission Oct. 5 in opposition to the application of the Lackawanna Railroad to discontinue all passenger service on its Boonton Line, which includes Sussex County.

The action was taken by the town committee Monday night when notification of the pending hearing before the PUC was received. The railroad seeks permission to discontinue the service on the grounds that it is losing money through the operation because of a drop in passenger patronage.
