The Wolverine was a train that ran from NYC through Rhinecliff, NC (whose main town there is Rhinebeck, NY). Rhinebeck and the Rhinecliff station is one of the nearest towns to Bard which is in the obscure hamlet of Annandale-On-Hudson. I remember that station well in the 70's - without fail I'd be waiting for a train to take me to NYC's Grand Central surrounded by harmless but interesting hare krishna's and a few 'moonines/ (The Rev Sun Myung Moon's 'college' campus/compound was right next to Bard in the 70's and accused of abducting/brainwashing some Bard students in the 70's)
By the way, other nearest town to Bard is Red Hook which is a rather backwards town with an aging population from another era just so you can appreciate the kind of politic there especially in the 60's and even later). I am not at all surprised this is the place from where G. Gordon Liddy hails - it figures (trust me, I know, I was a student at Bard back in the 70's and my first wife was from Red Hook). If they were tossed into the County jail then I suspect they were probably transported to Poughkeepsie where the county jail is located (Red Hook probably only had hold cells - so one has to wonder were were they actually held - in a holding cell in Red Hook or in Poughkeepise?)
Back to the train, the Wolverine was a train that ran from NYC to Detroit via Buffalo. it was actually the No. 17 which stopped at Rhinecliff station in the 60's. I believe the route was called the Empire State Express before 1976, was a daily passenger train operated by Amtrak between New York and Detroit via Buffalo and the Canadian province of Ontario. Prior to the formation of Amtrak in 1971 the Penn Central's Wolverine and Motor City Special had served the route, but Amtrak had truncated the Wolverine to Detroit and discontinued the Motor City Special.
To settle the Wolverine train debate....
