Ex Fast Line car on the decent in Edgewater         
Photographer is unknown - DT/DE/DR streetcar, Rt. 1 - Hudson River, rounds a curve PROW down to Edgewater, having just negotiated the hairpin horseshoe curve out of frame above it. The car had been built for the Public Service Railroad Trenton Fast Line from Newark to Trenton in 1913 (by the Public Service's own shops), and then transferred to the Hudson River Line when the Fast Line lost inerburban service in 1930. This line between Edgwater and Paterson would last until 1938. Today the ROW in the photograph is abandoned in the hillside opposite New Jersey Route 5.

Michael Bates General I too thought this line became Route 5, but I was wrong. Notice the downhill car runs next to the Palisades. Downhill on Route 5 runs along the river side, the Palisades are on the uphill side. 9/15/2014 3:56:19 PM
