If the Erie had a bit more money, they might have ended up connecting with the NY Central at Yardsley or Dobbs Ferry; the intent of the original president was to bridge the Hudson from Piermont, where the railroad's original terminal was, back in 6-foot-gauge days.Instead, they ended up buying two railroads, those being the Paterson & Ramapo (Suffern to Paterson) and Paterson & Hudson River RR (to Jersey City, and once down the middle of Main Avenue in Passaic; see below). And oh yeah, converting to standard gauge.  |
