New York's PATH meeting this Wednesday
The river to the west, between Newark and Harrison, is the Passaic
River which passes through Paterson up north, flows southwards and empties into Newark Bay; the next river, inside Jersey City, is the Hackensack River, also emptying into Newark Bay. Manhattan Transfer was slightly to the east and slightly to the north of the present Harrison station. The Pennsylvania originally switched from steam to electric power there for the trip into Penn Station [New York] though the North River Tunnnels that were finished around 1912; until then the Pennsy had its New York terminal in Jersey City at Exchange Place and used ferries to Manhattan. When the Pennsy electrified the New York Philadelphia Washington route in the 1930s, Manhattan Transfer was no longer needed and was demolished. It was at that same time that the new [present] Newark Penn Station was built. The Hudson Tubes website at http://www.hudsoncity.net/tubes/gatewaytubepage.html has a sightseeing tour [#9] which may be helpful for out of town visitors to the Tubes. ====================== Between Newark and Juornal Square the line crosses two rivers, which of these is the Passaic, and what is the other. There are massive bridges crossing both of these rivers, which obviously opened at one time, but I don't think they do now. Where was Manhattan Transfer, and whos trains served it? |
