Transportation
The tracks of the Hoboken Terminal
- Hoboken Terminal, located at the city's southeastern corner, is a national historic landmark originally built in 1908 by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad and currently undergoing extensive renovation. It is the origination/destination point for several modes of transportation and an important hub within the NY/NJ metropolitan region's public transit system. It is the only one of four major rail/ferry terminals that once dotted the west bank of the Hudson still in operation. West Shore Railroad Terminal in Weehawken and Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City were both demolished. Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, in what is now Liberty State Park, is across from Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty.
