Transportation
5
From 1895 until Sept. 3, 1938, trolleys carried passengers from various parts of southeast Bergen County and Hudson County to ferries in Edgewater, where they transferred for the voyage across the Hudson into New York City. The trolleys preceded the advent of bus and automobile transportation. Original trolley and tracks were installed on Paterson and New York Plank Rd. by the Passaic-Rutherford and Carlstadt Railway Co. These tracks were constructed in 1894 and ran from the City of Paterson to Hoboken.
