New York Central Weehawken to Bear Mountain

A rare look at the West Shore from Weehawken Terminal in New Jersey to Bear Mountain, New York before commuter service to Newburgh ended in 1959. Includes a ferry ride on the Cortlandt Street ferry to Weehawken as well as several Susquehanna trains where their lines parallel south of Ridgefield Park.

Everything railroad infrastructure-wise in Weehawken is long gone. NJ Transit's Hudson-Bergen light rail line runs on the former NYC right-of-way through Weehawken and Hoboken, and a modern ferry runs a similar route of the West Shore's ferry service (and yes, passengers can transfer between ferry and trolley). On the other side of the Bergen Hill tunnel the tracks are still very much in use under CSX.
