Weekday departures from Jersey City in the August 1883 empl TT:
11 NYS&W to Marion
10 NYWS&B to Marion-- when did West Shore move to Weehawken?
4 to Waverly
11 to Rahway
5 to Perth Amboy
8 to NY&LB
6 Lehigh Valley to Metuchen
5 to New Brunswick
1 to East Millstone
1 to Rocky Hill
3 to Trenton
1 "Fast Freight" to Mantua, presumably no passengers tho it doesn't say so
And 22 trains to Broad St Philadelphia, including a mail-express that says no passengers and another mail-express that shows no passenger stops. That includes all trains destined beyond Philadelphia.
Fastest train to Broad St was the 1608 departure that took 112 minutes including stops at Trenton, Germantown Jct and Powelton Ave. The 0910 Chicago express ran nonstop Jersey City to Broad St but took 120 minutes; it was the only nonstop. It passed the 0840 departure west of Monmouth Jct, where the latter was to be on the "fourth track"; the timetable doesn't show how much four-track railroad there was, but few trains got passed anywhere.
Presumably the times are not EST, but no indication whether they're NY time or Philadelphia.
