So It's Come To This:
Lackawanna Railroad Terminal
This is a picture of the old Lackawanna railroad terminal in Hoboken, NJ. At one time, the Lacawanna terminal was a busy center of travel - being one of the only ways to get to certain parts of New Jersey easily from New York. Ferries also ran out of this terminal which complimented Hoboken's once great shipping businesses.
Now, all the shipping copmpanies are gone. The rail system is a small fraction of what it used to be; the ferry system is also half of what it once was. The terminal suffered and it is now an eyesore despite the great design and intricate detail lost on "modern" structures.
There is a revival of sorts, however, and the entire terminal, which now houses NJ Transit offices, is being refurbished; I think the idea is to bring small businesses and shopping back to the area.
