Pavonia-Newport had replaced Exchange
Pl., Jersey City, as the system's northern terminal by the time of
this 2002 photo. Trains deposited their passengers, then
headed onto the overpass and out of sight to switch tracks for the
next trip out to Bayonne or West Side Ave.
The vehicle in view
here is in the process of returning to begin its southbound run.
These tracks now carry traffic bound for, or
coming from, Hoboken Terminal, or
Tonnelle Ave. in North Bergen Township.
The
PATH station of the same name is a short distance away, in an area
dazzling with renewal. There are good connections for
the interstate subway to and from Manhattan not only here, but also at Exchange Pl. in
Jersey City, and at Hoboken Terminal.
