<P0-S0> The New Jersey and New York Railroad (NJ&NY) was a railroad company that operated north from Rutherford, New Jersey, to Haverstraw, New York beginning in the mid-to-late 19th century. <P0-S1>  The line was originally chartered as the Hackensack and New York Railroad (H&NY) in 1856. <P0-S2>  The H&NY would eventually run from Rutherford to Hackensack, New Jersey. <P0-S3>  In 1866 under the leadership of David P. Patterson the company was rechartered as the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad and it extended its line north of Hackensack. <P0-S4>  It later reorganized as the New Jersey and New York Railroad. <P0-S5>  The line reached the town of Haverstraw, New York by 1870, the village of West Haverstraw by 1873, and the village of Haverstraw by 1887. <P0-S6>  The NJ&NY was in turn leased for 99 years by the Erie Railroad in 1896. <P0-S7>  The NJ&NY continued to exist as an Erie subsidiary until the 1960 merger that created the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. <P0-S8>  In 1976 the Erie Lackawanna was merged with several other railroads to create Conrail. <P0-S9>  In 1983, after several years under operation by Conrail, operations of the Pascack Valley Line were transferred to New Jersey Transit Rail Operations. <P0-S10>  The segments of the two former railroad lines in New York: north of Spring Valley to Haverstraw and north of Nanuet to New City; are no longer in service. <SEP> <P1-S0> Peter Gadol is an American author. <P1-S1>  He received an A.B.
