None of those railroads operated in nor out of Hoboken, as the Hoboken Terminal was Lackawanna (DL&W) and later (1955?) Erie RR. All three of the railroad trains in the art work operated in and out of the Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal in Jersey City.
What is the name of the B&O's train?
So it's a trick question? Like: "Now, uh, Ms. Vito, being an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me... what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic-inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?" "Nobody could answer that question!" "Your Honor, I move to disqualify Ms. Vito as a "expert witness"!" "Can you answer the question?" "No, it is a trick question!" "Why is it a trick question?" "'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center."
Funny but, I do NOT think that the original poster was asking a "trick question"! Many, MANY people that are NOT originally from the New York - New Jersey area, are knowledgable on all the various railroads and their terminals from more than 60/70 years ago.
