Hello,
I live near Murray Hill.Two questions to get me started
1. What is the rationale of the 6.07pm service from Hoboken to Murray Hill? It's a local that leaves 3 min behind the 6.04 Gladstone Express. Doesn't connect to any Midtown direct service at Summit. Is overtaken by the 6.08 to Gladstone from NY Penn. In other words, not a service I would aim to make whether from Hoboken or NY Penn. is the point to provide east bound service from Murray HIll/New Prov.?
2. Around 9pm, I usually see an eastbound train (arrow cars) rush past Murray Hill...presumably empty. Does it run empty all the way back to Hob? What's the point of running it empty? Is it because there's no yard space at Gladstone for it?
