Hoboken - Lackawanna Ferry Terminal (c.1954)
The Lackawanna railroad station and ferry terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey, from a ferry boat in the Hudson River. The main entrance to the station from the land side is at left. It originally had a towen 225 ft (69 m) high, which was demolished in 1948.
Most rail connections to New York ended at the Hudson River. Passengers and freight had to take a ferry into New York City, until bridges and tunnels were built. My father commuted to New York on the Lackawanna (later Erie-Lackawanna) railroad for many years, through Hoboken. He took the ferry, and later the Hudson Tubes (later PATH, or Port Authority Trans-Hudson). I went through Hoboken to summer jobs when I was in college and graduate school.
This photo was probably taken in the mid-1950s. The slide does not have a printed date, which establishes a certain age.
