This former passenger line, crossing Palisades Ave, in Englewood, NJ and adequately guarded by flashing lights and long crossing gates, would not be a comfortable ride today. Still used for limited light freight, it was originally opened in 1859, providing passenger service for 107 years, till 1966. The re-purposed original station still stands aside the right of way, just behind me in this photograph. Many would welcome the conversion to modernized “Light Rail” for connections to Manhattan, via Hoboken, NJ.
As usual, thanks for viewing. Comments are always welcome. M 🙂
Been there… you know I am a few miles from there!
Yes of course, and you were probably going to a program at the Bergen PAC, like us! 🙂
I think at 60 mph, it would be like one of them MagLev rails that cost so much.
. . . perhaps more Lev than Mag . . .
Seatbelts strongly advised. 🙂
