Pavonia Terminal was the Erie Railroad terminal on the Hudson River situated on the landfilled Harsimus Cove in Jersey City, New Jersey. The station opened in 1887 and closed in 1958 when the Erie railroad moved its passenger services to nearby Hoboken Terminal. The New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway also ran commuter trains from the terminal and various street cars, ferries and the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad subway line serviced the station. ==History== Pavonia was one of five passenger railroad terminals that lined the western shore of the Hudson Waterfront from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries along with those at Weehawken, Hoboken, Exchange Place and Communipaw. The Erie began developing the waterfront site in 1856. The intermodal complex was open December 4, 1887 〔("A Handsome Building: The Erie Railway's New Station at Jersey City." New York Times 4 December 1887. )〕 Across the river-facing facade was ''New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad'', the name of the entity that built it, though it was also called ''Jersey City Terminal Station''〔(Jersey City Terminal Station )〕 or ''Erie Railroad Station'' The colloquial name is taken from the 17th century European settlement of Pavonia, New Netherland〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Erie Railroad Terminal )〕 which began in the area and the ferry that served it. It has been described as "a brightly colored Victorian eclectic three story terminal located at the foot of Pavonia Avenue to serve a twelve track" station. It was designed by George E. Archer. The end of track was at about 40.7266 N 74.0304 W. Besides the railroad, the complex was served by ferries, streetcars and the rapid transit Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (now PATH). The terminal was also used by New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway trains.〔(NYSW Stations )〕 Long distance and suburban passenger trains reached the terminal by travelling through Bergen Hill via the Long Dock Tunnel and later under the Bergen Arches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Bergen Arches of the Erie Railroad )〕 In October 1956 the Erie Railroad began moving its trains out of Pavonia Terminal and into Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's Hoboken Terminal, and by 1960 had merged to become the Erie Lackawanna Railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Erie and the DL&W Were Merged in 1960 )〕 Erie's Northern Branch trains moved to Hoboken in 1959; the New York, Susquehanna and Western operated to the terminal until it pulled back to Susquehanna Transfer in 1961. The terminal was razed by 1961.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Erie Lackwanna Railroad and Predecessors )〕 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「Pavonia Terminal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
