Philadelphia & Reading Railroad

Apparently this is the railroad that ran through Rutherford before the Erie either baught the line out, or merged with them.

Found this info here: http://maley.net/transcription/Sketches ... erford.htm

I'd bet it's the Rutherford for whom the Rutherfurd station on the Reading was named. It's now an NS Triple Crown facility between Harrisburg and Hershey.

I believe the Rutherford NJ station was on the Paterson & Hudson River RR, before it was merged into the Erie Railroad. Don't have references handy to verify that, however.

Oh wait, hold on... I made a mistake here...I misread this article. I know that a man Named John Rutherford had something to do with Rutherford way back. Got the wrong guy...

My mistake...

Rutherford Yard on the Reading is in a town called Rutherford Heights.... which came first, the chicken or the egg?
