Posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Oct 19 10:03:00 2025 This is part one of a two part photo essay of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad before PATH.  Let's begin with an early map of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad.  1908 view of the completed tunnel with crossover near the 19th St. station.  Undated view of the 9th St. station entrance.  Class B car #269 posed in a tunnel showing signal apparatus. Class B cars were built in 1909 the Pressed Steel Car Co. Car #256 is preserved at the St. Louis of Museum of Transportation.  Postcard of the 14th St. station with ticket choppers at the ready. Note the ornate light fixtures.William Gibbs MacAdoo spared no expense in furnishing his railtoad.  Another postcard, this one hand colored of the Hoboken, NJ station..  The 33rd St. station entrance was closed for reconstruction in this photo. Does this have anything to do with relocating the original 33rd St. station for construction of the IND subway ? (undated photo)  This should be the H&M Railroad's "Ladies only" Car.  The following three scans are covers for the H&M Railroad timetables dated July 1955.    A Pennsylvania Railroad MP-38 train is at Hudson Terminal awaiting the trip to Newark, NJ. The cars #1901-#1960 were built by the Pressed Steel Car Co. in 1911 for the extension to Newark, NJ The MP-38s were equipped with cab signaling as all H&M equipment did not.  Jersey City, NJ just east of Journal Square with laid up MP-38s and a Pennsylvania Railroad electrified freight train. Are these PRR electric engines P-5s ? (undated photo)  Another Jersey City view of laid up MP-38s. (undated photo)  MP-38 train just west of Journal Square with the Merrion Ave. grade crossing shown. That grade crossing was closed years ago. (undated photo).  MP-38s on the Hackensack River bridge. (undated photo)  At the Harrison, NJ station. (undated photo)  A color photo of MP-38s leaving Newark, NJ station. Since the MP-38s were PRR ,their signature Tuscan red livery and porthole cab windows are evident. (undated photo)  For the last photo of the show is the H&M Henderson St. yard in 1947. This yard was closed when PATH relocated to the Jersey meadows. Next week, more H&M photos as part two. To be followed by a two part show of PATH after the H&M Railroad. Be prepared to be on both sides of the Hudson River for a few weeks. Thanks for viewing.  |
