Just for clarification, wasn't Hoboken the eastern terminus of the EL?

Hoboken was the "eastern terminus" of the DL&W. The Erie had their "eastern terminus" in Jersey City, just south of Hoboken, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. Prior to the merger in 1960, the Erie worked out a "deal" with the DL&W to use their Hoboken Passenger Terminal for all their passenger trains. Thus, in the mid-1950s, all the Erie passenger service arrived and departed from the northern tracks of the DL&W Hoboken Passenger Terminal.
