Description:

Public Service of New Jersey, Streetcar # 962,  DT/SE/DR, fender down, Hudson Street Wye, Toll House Gate # 5, Hackensack, New Jersey, 1913.




OK............what/where is the Hudson Street Wye and Toll House Gate #5? And they're both visible in this image?

They may have been around Gardner Place.

Same picture in an earlier post:


The Sand Hill substation on Hudson Street was used for the northern part of the "Bergen Line" since the line could not cross the RR in Little Ferry. Cars were taken across by the "jumper" tracks and kept North of the RR. You got off the Northern section car at Little Ferry, walked across tracks and boarded a southern section car to get to Hoboken. The Building was later converted to a bus garage.  It was on Hudson Street, north of Moonachie Road on East Side when going North on Hudson Street.

I always wondered why that lot was vacant.  What was there.  Nice find.

If you're referring to the circled lot below, I recall once being in a big old house that was there somewhere around 1966 or 1967. I think I knew a girl who lived there. I'm guessing it was torn down in the 70s.
