There used to be a trolley that ran from Maywood to Hoboken They tore it down circa 20th century year 71 It only cost a dime unless you got off to go on another line Most of the time it went very slow and rocked back and forth At other times it would move very fast at which time one would have to hold onto his hat or lose it A hat cost about two dollars A good hat could run five bucks or more For a ten cent ride It really wasn't worth the risk of losing your hat When you could take the bus for a quarter

The Failure Of The Trolley
There used to be a trolley that ran from Maywood to Hoboken They tore it down circa 20th century year 71 It only cost a dime unless you got off to go on another line Most of the time it went very slow and rocked back and forth At other times it would move very fast at which time one would have to hold onto his hat or lose it A hat cost about two dollars A good hat could run five bucks or more For a ten cent ride It really wasn't worth the risk of losing your hat When you could take the bus for a quarter
