Dear New Jersey Transit worker #1:
I got off the train in Trenton, a place that I have never visited before and may never visit again, unsure of how long until my next train left or from where it left. You told me not to buy my ticket on the train, saving me money, and to take the bridge over the track, saving me time. I do not know your name and did not thank you. Thank you.
Dear New Jersey Transit worker #2:
After finally succeeding to buy a ticket from Trenton to Penn Station and getting $8 change in quarters and Susan B. Anthony dollars, I heard, “Penn Station, all aboard” from somewhere in the station. I dashed up the stairs and over the bridge that sent me, I thought, to the next train. I had turned and was about to go through doors marked EXIT when you shouted, “You don’t want go down those stairs!” I frantically asked where the train to New York was and you calmly but quickly pointed me down the right set of stairs, which I would not have found otherwise and down which I tore right away. I do not know your name and did not thank you. Thank you.
Dear New Jersey Transit worker #3:
I made the train about 60 seconds before the train pulled out. As we started our trip to New York, you went through the normal instructions over the loudspeaker. You explained how buying the ticket on the train cost a 5 dollar surcharge. You concluded your talk by asking us to throw our trash in the trash can. “A clean New Jersey transit system starts with you.” I do not know whether that was part of your script or your own line, but it is funny, and it made several harried passengers smile. I do not know your name and did not thank you. Thank you.

The atv master cylinder is a hydraulic control device that converts physical pressure (commonly from a driver's foot) into hydraulic pressure to operate other device(s) in the hydraulic system. The most common automotive uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.
The operated device in the clutch system is called the slave cylinder.
In brake systems, the operated devices are brake calipers and/or wheel cylinders.

There is a bit of midrash about how the Mischiach may appear as a beggar or a some other unlikely person whom we are tested to treat well. Is it possible the Mischiach could be disguised as a NJ Transit worker?

New Jersey is best avoided.
When a member of the Vermont legislature* speaks to oppose a bill, he may wish to characterize the bill as being the worst possible idea in this or any other universe, in which case he will say "That's how they do it in New Jersey", or "We don't need New Jersey in Vermont".
*I used to be one.
