| Metrotrails added Historic Station in Westwood on the old Erie Railroad, now NJ Transit, Bergen County NJ. The railroad was established in 1866 as the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad, and became the New Jersey and New York Railroad in 1878. It was leased to the Erie in 1896. This was established as a station stop in 1870. The current Tudor-inspired sandstone station replaced the original wooden structure in 1932 after 25 years of the town pestering the Erie Railroad. The original was on the east side of the tracks, while the current one is on the west surrounded by the Veterans Memorial Park. Today, the railroad serves as NJ Transit's Pascack Valley Line as far as Spring Valley NY. The line is abandoned beyond, but used to continue to Haverstraw. Metrotrails shared |
I presume those are Ping-Pong tables in the photo, so it looks like the building is a community center as well as a train station.
