Description
 
From Bayonne to Edgewater, the west shore of the Hudson river was lined with hundreds of piers to service the millions of tons of cargo imported and exported to and from the worlds nations and America. To move these goods, hundreds of rail lines were constructed to efficiently transport the massive tonnage coming and going to the piers of Hudson and Bergen counties waterfront communities. Jersey City alone had hundreds of miles of rails running to the Hudson river, with a multitude of railroad companies in competition for the huge profits to be had. Freighters could unload on any city dock and bang, off they went to any point in North America. The same services were available from just about any dock on the west shore, making the North Jersey port area unique and extremely busy. With this book of exploration find out more on New Jersey's rich railroading past. Softcover; Author: Charles P Caldes
