Hudson River Car Line Interuban on Main St
Title:  Hudson River Car Line Interuban on Main St
Description:  Photographer La Mar M Kelley of Elkhart, Indiana captured this wonderful image of a 1912 era New Jersey Public Service Railway built 3500 interurban stopping at the New York, Susquehanna & Western depot at Main and Mercer in downtown Hackensack. Cars on this line ran from the ferry terminal at Edgewater to the Hudson River Line's terminus in Paterson (with some cars turning around in Maywood). This image was snapped with only six days left for the line, which was abandoned on August 5, 1938 by the then renamed Public Service Coordinated Transport. Kelley, an early member of the Central Electric Railfans' Association, died January 5, 1948 "in railroad service." #3519 was built in 1912 at the Public Service Newark Shops for the Bergen Division. It was scrapped at Passaic Wharf in Newark during 1938/39.

Nearing the end of the "Hudson River Line"
Title:  Nearing the end of the "Hudson River Line"
Description:  A Public Service trolley on the Hudson River Line is inspected by its motorman in Paramus NJ. This service was abandoned on August 5, 1938. The photo has a notation on the back "8/38, abandoned a week later." The Hudson River Line took one from the ferry terminal in Edgewater to Paterson, via Hackensack, and was the only "railroad" in Paramus. The car is a 1913 product of Public Service's own shops. The very last run would be made by this car's sister, 3540. Photographer is unknown. #3532 was built in 1912 at the Public Service Newark Shops for the Bergen Division. It was scrapped at Passaic Wharf in Newark during 1938/39.

Ex Fast Line car on the decent in Edgewater
Title:  Ex Fast Line car on the decent in Edgewater
Description:  Photographer is unknown - DT/DE/DR streetcar, Rt. 1 - Hudson River, rounds a curve PROW down to Edgewater, having just negotiated the hairpin horseshoe curve out of frame above it. The car had been built for the Public Service Railroad Trenton Fast Line from Newark to Trenton in 1913 (by the Public Service's own shops), and then transferred to the Hudson River Line when the Fast Line lost inerburban service in 1930. This line between Edgwater and Paterson would last until 1938. Today the ROW in the photograph is abandoned in the hillside opposite New Jersey Route 5.
