I took this from home a couple of years ago. Just as Tower 1 always blocked Tower 2 from my perspective, the beams appear to be one.

This is my kind of labor - a beautiful morning to take a walk with my cell cam and see what I can see.

I took a lot of photos and edited them down to 40, so I'm gonna have to make 4 posts of 10 images each (the maximum allowed per post).

I started at Main and E. Ward St and walked south to the courthouse, east on Court St, and north on River with a couple of slight detours.

Part 1 is all Main St:

Hackensack History / Re: 1930's Aerial Photo
« on: September 04, 2010, 01:42:26 AM »
Not sure how important the rail abandonment information is to dating the aerial photo.  The rail line was abandoned on a specific date, but the rails weren't ripped up on that date.

It's important because service ceased in August of 1938 and there is no in-use trolley track visible in the picture - save for the dead-end track in the yard - so the rails were already ripped out. The information set a new bottom limit of 1938 at a time when that limit was 1937 - one step in the process, for those who are paying attention.


Route 17:

<< Doesn't matter if it was called Route 2 at the time. >>

That's why I wrote the following under my Rt 17 info:

"None of this helps our quest"


165 Union
:

<< "So that would be 165, and BLeafe has identified when it was demolished." >>

Thanks, but that identification was provided by our good friend, the Editor.

The problem with that is that this is a Hudson River Line trolley - an east-west line. It didn't go up and down Main St.
