But everything else has changed. Were looking at what was once the NYC Weehawken Yard. Once there was a passenger station here, the terminus of passeger operatiins on NYCs West Shore Line to Albany. The terminal also served the NY Ontario & Western til they quit running passenger trains in 1949. The last NYC train ran in 1958, after which time the area was largely unused. Like everywhere, development has come, and with the vehicular traffic congestion from Jersey to NY, the ferry has returned. Ah, progress!! |
