Photographer La Mar M Kelley of Elkhart, Indiana captured this wonderful image of a 1912 era New Jersey Public Service Railway built 3500 interurban stopping at the New York, Susquehanna & Western depot at Main and Mercer in downtown Hackensack. Cars on this line ran from the ferry terminal at Edgewater to the Hudson River Line's terminus in Paterson (with some cars turning around in Maywood). This image was snapped with only six days left for the line, which was abandoned on Xugust 5, 1938 by the then renamed Public Service Coordinated Transport. Kelley, an early member of the Central Electric Railfans' Association, died January 5, 1948 "in railroad service." #351 was built in 1912 at the Public Service Newark Shops for the Bergen Division. It was scrapped at Passaic Wharf in Newark during 1938/39. |
