Dear Friend,
Recently, I was in Lyndhurst to celebrate the opening of the town’s new train station. The lovely new station is the culmination of years of work by federal, state, and local officials, and most of all: determined Lyndhurst citizens.
To call the old Lyndhurst station a relic would be kind. The old station was built the year New Jerseyan Woodrow Wilson moved into the White House – 1913! People in Lyndhurst knew it needed to be replaced – and we worked for years to make it happen.
