}} Mountain Station is a New Jersey Transit station in South Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, United States, along the Morris and Essex (formerly Erie Lackawanna Morristown Line). The station, built in 1915, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984.〔(Essex County Listings on the National Register of Historic Places (Building - #84002656) )〕 The station is somewhat unique in that when the Lackawanna Railroad rebuilt the Morristown Line during the 1910s and 1920s, to eliminate grade crossings between Newark and Millburn, Mountain Station was the only location at which the elevation of the railroad's roadbed was not changed. As a result, the grade crossing of Montrose Avenue at the eastbound end of the station was eliminated and the roadway was raised onto a bridge. At the westbound end of the station, the Mountain House Road crossing was eliminated entirely and a pedestrian walkway was built. The walkway was removed during the late 1970s as part of the re-electrification project for the line.〔The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad in the Twentieth Century (Volume 2) by Thomas T. Taber III, Lycoming Publishing Company, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, 1980.〕 At present, as in the past, most trains that stop here proceed onto, or have originated in, Hoboken. Most Midtown Direct trains into New York City bypass Mountain Station, but a large number do stop at the main station in South Orange, which is less than a mile to the south (timetable west). Midtown Direct trains can be accessed from Mountain Station by transferring at an intermediate station such as Orange, Brick Church or Newark. == See also == * National Register of Historic Places listings in Essex County, New Jersey 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「Mountain Station (NJT station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
