- Welcome back to the channel everyone!
This weeks episode I visit and uncover the history of a historical train depot. A train station on the Hudson River used to be a once buzzing hub of travel and activity. This train station helped get new American's from Ellis Island to where ever they were going to, outside of New York City.
Tune in to see this incredible episode and insane history as well as to see the Statue of Liberty in a way you have never seen it before.

I will see you all next week at the same time, same day, same channel.
The station is a national treasure in an exceptional and one-of-a-kind location not far from Ellis Island. A beautiful architectural landmark with a historical connection to Ellis Island and millions of immigrants. I used to play down there as a kid not long after the station closed. I remember dilapidated rail yards and derelict warehouses before Liberty State Park was developed. I also remember sitting on the shoreline near the station during the huge fireworks display and Operation Sail for the Statue of Liberty centennial celebration in 1986.
Absolutely! You don’t see that type of architecture anymore which is a shame. The history there is unreal. Top notch location. Thanks for commenting!
Should not be history. Would be a great station again with modern higher speed trains across the country. The rail transportation we have is from 1967 planning the years of tearing down Penn Station! Gas 10 cents. No traffic jams it was a different time. This is 2024 not 1967. It's amazing Biden was able to stop the shut down of cross country routes that service all those smaller towns and cities. Most places do not have trains anymore. There has always been money for airports and highways. So we lost most of the rail system. This is wrong.
very cool.
The history there is often overlooked.
I rode trains out of there to places like Newark airport! It took billions to replace the little wooden depot CNJ had there with cinders to walk on. I rode mail trains to the Lehigh Valley, it took for ever cause of all the station work, mail and packages to the towns all night on the way to Allentown. I missed the B&O and did ride a Reading Ramble out of Bound Brook. The Blue Mountain and Reading RR has bought them back! Look that up!
The clock is ticking to save and preserve the train sheds. The sheds are deteriorating to the point where they will have to be demolished. Every effort must be made to seek funding to pay for the restoration. The folks who administer Liberty State Park are not interested in the Railroad History, just the ecological green effort to make the park a natural setting. This Railroad, the CRRofNJ, was responsible for the economic development of New Jersey and that cannot and should not be forgotten. Shame on these administrators.
Those are some very valid points and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for tuning in. 🤙🏼
