From Chapter 5: “Life with Cooper: “Working the Trains”
On this particular Wednesday night, I was in my seat early so I got to hear Cooper’s exchanges with familiar (and not so familiar) people as they boarded the train. These interactions were fairly typical. Some of the passengers asked, “How many stops to Orange?” and Cooper quickly rattled off a response which included what zone that stop was in. Somebody asked if the train stopped in Newark Penn to which Cooper replied, “No. You need to get off this train and go back to 7. I believe that that is where the train to Trenton is. This train doesn’t go there.”
