Pavonia Terminal

Pavonia Terminal

Pavonia Terminal was the waterfront terminal on the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey for the Erie Railroad's passenger trains. It was built between 1886 and 1889, closed in late 1958, and was demolished in 1961. The terminal was also used by New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway trains and was served by the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (now PATH).

Closure

By 1956, the Erie Railroad began moving its operations out of the Pavonia terminal and into the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's Hoboken, New Jersey terminal. This predated the railroads' merger by several years.

The New York, Susquehanna and Western continued to operate trains in and out of the terminal until late 1958. The terminal sat abandoned until 1961, when it was razed.

Today

No visible traces of Pavonia Terminal remain today. Much of the land occupied by the station has undergone redevelopment in recent years. The area, known as Newport, is home to a busy mall, offices, and housing. PATH's Pavonia/Newport station still bears the letter "E" (for "Erie") engraved on its pillars.
