(rshsdepot) Communipaw redux . . .

Sorry about forgetting to retitle the "thread"...

It was unfortunate they ripped out the Bush sheds at Communipaw....I really
miss the ferry slips they removed on the waterfront...now there is an
historic station with no rational, no tracks or sheds in back, no ferry
slips in front...why would someone put that station there? many kids should
ask the Science Museum's staff...

Oh yeah, those ferry slips were built later, the ones that were there in
67...Probably contemporaneous with the ferry slips along the North River put
up between mid-1890's and 1910's, though a few in Manhattan were redone in
20's...The copper and rivets have that feel...The big signs that they also
should have left, that had neat lights and all-those may be 1920's, maybe
earlier..

Here is a different question relating to this....probably a dumb one I
admit....The Lehigh Valley had a freight terminal just north of CNJ
terminal...Why did they not use it for passengers (I think I know that they
went to Pennsy Staqtion at Exchange Place, am I right?)

And no more arguing, or I'll send you all before the Supreme Court!!
