DescriptionBlack-and-white photo of elevated streetcar trestle on last full day of use, Hoboken, August 6, 1949. 3-1/2" high x 5" wide print. Photographer not indicated. Reverse has: processor's mark, J513; typewritten print or negative file number and caption information as below. Typewritten on back: X49-527. PS-NJ [Public Service of New Jersey] trestle from right [north] side at Hoboken looking towards Palisades. 8/6/49, last day of service. [Service appears to actually have stopped in the early morning of August 7th; see photo 2008.012.0202.] View is southwest towards Jersey City Heights. The cross street would appear to be Marshall and the cobblestone "street" in the foreground is possibly the remains of a driveway that was mid-block between Observer Highway and Paterson Plank Road and once ran between Harrison and Marshall. The trolleys or streetcars that used this line on the south end of Hoboken ran to and from a terminal at Hudson Place next to the Lackawanna Terminal. They also had connections to street level routes in Hoboken.
