This Day in History: 1955-03-17
The route of the proposed Gas Transmission Co’s Tennessee Natural Gas pipeline through Mahwah was revealed at the Town Board meeting. It was described as crossing Route 17 near the McKee sand pit, crossing under the Erie tracks below Sam Braen’s sand pit, up Airmount Ave and through David Carlough’s apple orchard into Upper Saddle River. Property had already been purchased on Route 17 for a maintenance building for the 248 mile pipeline slated to reach from north central Pennsylvania to New York City.
