Outside the Tonnelle Ave. terminal in North
Bergen Township there is a marker providing much detail about the
history of the Weehawken Tunnel. The last passenger train ran
through it in 1959, and its final freight use by Conrail occurred in 2001.
Unlike the other three terminals on the Hudson-Bergen system, trains
at this station use a loop to switch directions. The station
is in a rather nondescript area, and was not intended to be the
final stop along this route; the line has yet to achieve reaching
Bergen County. |
