Present Owner: New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ Transit), One Penn Plaza East, Newark, New Jersey 07105 Present Use: Railroad Tunnel Significance: The South Bergen Tunnel is technologically significant for its innovative concrete technology and is historically significant because it reflected the dramatic increase in railroad freight operations on the D.L.&W. Railroad by the opening of the twentieth century. Project Information: This documentation was initially undertaken, after consultation with the NJ SHPO in 1991, as a mitigative measure in anticipation of alteration or demolition of the South and North Bergen Tunnels. Documentation on the tunnels was begun in April 1991 by Frances Alexander, Chief, Architectural History; Christopher Martin, Senior Architectural Historian; and Jesse Daugherty ofEngineering-Science, Inc., Washington, D.C .. Additional research and documentation on the ventilator shafts and open cuts was undertaken in late 1994 by Stacy E. Spies for NJ Transit.

Heading west on a very early Saturday morning Nov. 14 to meet NJ-ARP members in Montclair—the first such Saturday train in nearly five decades—your President observed four passengers returning from a night on the Big Town making an across-the-platform transfer at Newark-Broad Street, destination Glen Ridge. The four made the move with ease, as if they had always had the access. That spells success in NJ-ARP’s book, and that was before dedicated NJ-ARP volunteers cataloged the rest of New Jersey Transit’s Saturday debut of service on at least a portion of the Montclair Branch. Sure, the “numbers” were from Montclair to Midtown Manhattan (making that oh-so-supposedly difficult transfer), or to a lesser degree to and from Hoboken.
