Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line. -
2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City 2.2
Jersey City Master Plan / Circulation Element 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS As part of the background work in developing this Circulation Element, a detailed assessment of the history of circulation in Jersey City and an inventory of the baseline conditions of the City’s transportation system were prepared. 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City Photo Source: Jersey City Division of City Planning Strategically located on the Hudson River and with easy access to Upper New York Bay, the City of Jersey City was an important center for shipping and maritime activity during the peak of the industrial revolution of the early nineteenth century. This status was reinforced when the Morris Canal was completed at Jersey City in 1836, giving the City shared direct linkage with the Delaware River at Phillipsburg and with important inland points, such as Newark and Paterson. Jersey City continued to serve as a transit point between Upper New York Bay and inland points to the west, but as the industrial revolution progressed, new technologies enabled the development of newer, more efficient forms of transport than canals. Consequently, railroads followed and terminals were constructed along the Hudson River waterfront and other points in the City. One example is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which originally opened in 1864 and is located in what is now Liberty State Park. With terminals located on the Hudson River, it was not long before ideas about a rail linkage to New York City began to evolve. This led to the construction of what is now known as the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train, which commenced operations in 1907 after many arduous years of tunneling under the Hudson River. -

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. -

There are over 2,400 firms engaged in manufactures in this city, and over twelve hundred distinct branches of manufacture carried on within its limits. The history of Newark dates back about 225 years, when the place was first settled by a colony of sturdy New Englanders. Nearly or quite forty years after the landing of the Pilgrims on the rock- bound shores of New England, the religious differences of opinion among colonists of the Plymouth and adjacent settlements, had increased to such an ex- tent, that it was thought best by some of the leading spirits of two of the towns of the colonies, that new fields should be occupied, and fuller opportunities given for the cultiva- tion of religious thought and action. -
Interim Bridge Report
STATE OF NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 1035 PARKWAY AVENUE P.O. BOX 601 TRENTON, N.J. 08625-0601 JON S. CORZINE 609-530-3535 GOVERNOR KRIS KOLLURI. ESQ. COMMISSIONER August 9,2007 The Honorable Jon S. Corzine Governor State House P.O. Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625-0001 Dear Governor Corzine: Pursuant to your directive issued August 2, 2007, attached please find the interim report on bridges. The accompanying documents detail the number of bridges located in the state, their jurisdiction of control, structural condition, the date of last inspection and the anticipated date of the next inspection .. Of the 6,434 bridges in New Jersey, including those owned and operated by the State, New Jersey Transit, independent and bi-State authorities, counties and municipalities, there are 736 (11%) that are considered "structurally deficient", These are bridges whose deck, superstructure and/or substructure are deteriorated; however, this does not mean that these bridges are unsafe to travel on. I want to assure you that the safety ofthe motoring public is my highest priority. In fact, under federal regulation, the New Jersey Department of Transportation rigorously inspects the bridges under its jurisdiction a minimum of every two (2) years, or more if necessary. Further, the NJDOT Office of the Inspector General is conducting unscheduled audits and investigations of all movable bridge operational procedures to test for compliance with all aspects of the Movable Bridge Protocol Program. I have asked the Inspector General to conduct similar audits of non-movable bridges as well. In addition, inspections of the seven (7) New Jersey bridges with similar deck truss structures as the bridge in Minneapolis have been ordered for immediate inspection based upon the Federal Highway Administration directive. -
