Croxton is an section of Jersey City in the New Jersey Meadowlands in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. It is bounded by Secaucus at Penhorn Creek (named for the 17th century American colonial judge and President of the New Jersey Provincial Council and Commander-in-Chief of New Jersey, William Pinhorne 〔("William Pinhorne: Judge of the New York Supreme Court of Judicature, 1691-1698" ), New York Courts〕〔Dunlap, William, (''History of the New Netherlands, province of New York, and state of New York, to the adoption of the federal Constitution'' ), New York : Carter & Thorp, 1839. Cf, (p.215 )〕), which creates the city with Secaucus. The Riverbend of the Hackensack River and the Hudson Generating Station and the Marion Section lie to the south and Truck 1-9 and Western Slope to the east. Nearby North Bergen Yard and Croxton Yard are parts of the North Jersey Shared Assets Area. The Yard is officially known as the North Jersey Intermodal Terminal.〔("ExpressRail System : Regional Intermodal Rail Facilities :Croxton Yard Operator (North Jersey Intermodal Terminal)" ), ''seaportsinfo.com'' (archived 2010)〕 The area is informally named Croxton after Croxton Yard on the Norfolk Southern Freight Line.〔("NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY v. INTERMODAL PROPERTIES" ), Superior Court of New Jersey,Appellate Division. February 9, 2012〕〔("Profile: Croxton, NJ yard" ), Norfolk Southern info from website.〕 Much of the area is filled with New Jersey Transit commuter lines and freight lines. There are no passenger stations although Secaucus Junction is nearby. The area is home to the Metropolitan Bulk Mail Facility for New York and New Jersey. The only major road crossing the district is County Road, which connects Jersey City Heights with Secaucus. In 2005, the New Jersey Turnpike opened Exit 15X to allow access to the newly built Secaucus Junction train station, the access road to which acts like a huge U-turn, and dominates the landscape.〔("Enter Exit 15" ), ''The Record (Bergen County)'', November 30, 2005. "Exit 15X, the new $250 million Secaucus interchange on the New Jersey Turnpike, will open to motorists Thursday night."〕 The name Croxton was given to the railroad yard after Philip Croxton, the traffic manager for Lorillard Tobacco Company.〔(Books, books everywhere! ), accessed July 26, 2006〕 which had been located at 111 First Street in Downtown Jersey City.〔( P. Lorillard Tobacco Company ), accessed July 26, 2006.〕 New Jersey Transit bus route #2 travels along County Avenue from Secaucus Junction to Journal Square.〔(NJT bus 2 schedule )〕 == Gallery == Croxton.jpg|Croxton across Penhorn Creek USPS NJ Internation n Bulk jeh.jpg|Bulk Mail 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Croxton, Jersey City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
