Description
New Jersey's Lackawanna Ferry terminal, now called the Hoboken Terminal, was named such due to its connection to the Erie-Lackawanna railroad. It was both a railroad and a ferry terminal and it was where the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company lines ended near the Hudson River. The use of the terminal waned after the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels were completed which allowed cars and buses to drive between New Jersey and New York. The terminal's interior is decorated in the Beaux-Arts style, and was designed by Kenneth Murchinson in 1907. Between 1997 and 1999, Hoboken terminal underwent a thorough renovation and, in 2011, the ferries returned.
