Talk:Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal

Article needs renaming
"Communipaw Terminal" is not a name that this terminal was commonly known as. Communipaw was a separate station from this terminal. The informal name among passengers was "Jersey City Terminal".

Relocated in 1889??
So did it relocate FROM this location, or to this location from somewhere else? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 09:44, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

NJ Central Main Line
Main Line of the former Central Railroad of New Jersey. The main line service originally ran through Elizabeth and Bayonne to Jersey City, and terminated at Communipaw Terminal in what is today Liberty State Park. This station, which was served by the Reading Jersey Central, and former B & O Washington-Jersey City line, had direct connections, either by chartered bus or ferry, into Manhattan (the latter serving the financial district).

Under the 1967 Aldene Plan, however, the Aldene Connection connected to the former Lehigh Valley Railroad right-of-way, and trains were re-routed to Newark Penn Station on the Northeast Corridor.


 * The main line of the CNJ was along the Raritan Valley route, on what today is the NJ Transit train line of that name, from Elizabethport to Elizabeth to Plainfield to Easton, Pennsylvania. It is problematic that the CNJ Main Line is cited as going to Scranton. That latter route was the main line of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, today, the Morristown Line.Dogru144 (talk) 03:00, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, which the CNJ leased from 1871 onwards, did go to Scranton. It would be better to show the main line going to either Easton or Phillipsburg, and then indicating the L&S. An ETT from before the early 1970s would help clear this up.

Lehigh Valley mention is problematic
The Lehigh Valley Railroad mention is problematic. The RR, from New York Pennsylvania Station's first decade, was able to use the Pennsylvania tracks from Newark to the Secaucus portal, and the North Tunnels of the PRR to NY Penn Station. So, the mention of the Lehigh Valley RR in the opening table on the right is misleading.Dogru144 (talk) 02:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Per Middleton, the LV was here from 1913-1918. Prior to that it used Exchange Place. Mackensen (talk) 13:32, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Added a date clarification in the box. Mackensen (talk) 13:35, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

B or C class article?
Per Content assessment: ''B-class: The article is mostly complete and without major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher.''

One can say that this is true of this article, which has sufficient references cited. Thus, meets C-class, at least.Djflem (talk) 10:28, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
