Paterson And Hudson River Railroad
The Paterson and Hudson River Railroad was a railroad that operated in New Jersey and connected the cities of Jersey City and southeast Paterson. The railroad was started in 1833. The company was the first in the United States to build moveable bridges for rail, crossing the Passaic River and Hackensack River. Originally the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad used a troop of horses to pull the cars along the rails. The first steam locomotive to operate on the line was called the ''McNeil'' and manufactured by Robert Stephenson and Company then assembled by Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works. A decade after opening, the railroad's importance increased when the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad was built connecting north Paterson to Suffern, New York just over the state line. Travelers could use a combination of the two lines (and another transportation method for the between the two Paterson terminals) to travel between Suffern and New York City faster than the New York and Erie ...

Railway Companies Disestablished In 1852
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rutherford Station
Rutherford is a New Jersey Transit railroad station served by the Bergen County Line. The station straddles the border between Rutherford and East Rutherford in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The station building and Hoboken Terminal-bound platform is located near a traffic circle at the junction of Park Avenue, Union Avenue, Erie Avenue and Orient Way known as Station Square, with a grade crossing on Park Avenue. The tracks serve as the border between the two municipalities and the Suffern-bound platform and a small parking lot on the same side are actually located in East Rutherford; only the Hoboken-bound platform and a larger commuter lot are located on the Rutherford side. History The Paterson and Hudson River Railroad was constructed through Union Township in 1833 (still mostly farmland at this point), and a station was constructed adjacent to the "Boiling Springs" (actually cold, but so named due to its turbulent flow). The service on the railroad line w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Harmon Cove Station
Harmon Cove is an abandoned train station in the Harmon Cove section of Secaucus, New Jersey. The station was a former stop on the Bergen County Line which runs from Hoboken Terminal to Suffern. Train service was discontinued in 2003 when Secaucus Junction was opened. History Construction and opening Harmon Cove station was built to serve the gated community known as Harmon Cove, which was developed starting in 1975 by Hartz Mountain Industries with townhouses and highrise residential buildings. This development played a key part in the transition of Secaucus from being a part of wetlands in the New Jersey Meadowlands to being highly developed. In December 1977, Hartz Mountain Industries sent an application to the Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission for permission to construct a station and a 100-car parking lot to serve its development. Following the issuance of the permit, it was expected that construction on the station could begin within 60 days. The station w ...

Secaucus Junction
Secaucus Junction (known as Secaucus Transfer during planning stages and signed simply as Secaucus) is a NJ Transit Rail Operations commuter rail hub in Secaucus, New Jersey. The $450 million, station opened on December 15, 2003, and was dedicated as the Frank R. Lautenberg Rail Station at Secaucus Junction. U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, who died in 2013, was a transit advocate who had worked to allocate federal funds for the project. The station is on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) five miles west of New York Penn Station and five miles east of Newark Penn Station. At Secaucus, the NEC crosses above the Main Line, allowing passengers to transfer between trains to and from Hoboken Terminal. It serves trains from all lines operated by NJ Transit except the Princeton Branch and Atlantic City Line. Amtrak trains run through the station but do not stop.

Paterson And Ramapo Railroad
The Paterson and Ramapo Railroad was a railroad that operated mostly in New Jersey, connecting the city of and Paterson, New Jersey with Suffern, New York, just across the state line. The railroad was chartered in 1841 and construction began in 1847. It was created to form a connection between the Paterson and Hudson River Railroad, one of the earliest railroads in the United States, and the Erie Railroad in Suffern. The two Paterson railroads provided a shorter route from Suffern to New York City than did the New York and Erie Railroad. The road served freight customers from the beginning, notably cotton mills in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. Several other factories, including a paper mill, were built due to the railroad. The railroad opened in fall, 1849. The steam locomotives to operate on the line were ordered from Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works in Paterson. In 1852, the New York and Erie Railroad leased the track rights of the P&HR and P&R and made their lines the new New Yo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
