New Jersey Central's Modern Terminal Expands at Jersey City
The Jersey City terminal will become the region’s largest on the west side of the Hudson with a tripled train shed capacity, doubled concourse size, direct ferry connections, and twenty tracks for longer trains. An electric interlocking system, enhanced interdepartment communication, and two new ferry concourses will speed passenger transfers and train dispatching. A large engine terminal and rebuilt yard will support a unified service for four railroads, with most work expected to be usable by 1913.
