North Hawthorne station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Hawthorne, known as North Paterson when originally constructed, was a rail station and yard located in Hawthorne, Passaic County, New Jersey. The facility, which was equipped with car and engine shops, served passengers and freight for both the Erie Railroad and the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad from 1892 to 1966.[5] Passenger service from North Hawthorne primarily transported commuters to and from the Susquehanna Transfer station in North Bergen or the Erie Railroad's Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City.[5][7] Connecting service included the now defunct Public Service Railway, which at one time used North Hawthorne as the terminus of a trolley line connecting Hawthorne to Paterson.[1] Once a sizable complex with multiple spurs and sidings for surrounding industries,[8] North Hawthorne has been reduced to a single runaround siding.[9] Every structure associated with the yard has been demolished, except for the roundhouse,[8] which today is owned by private interests.[5][8]
