It also served some trains from the Jersey shore. A boat hit the bridge over the Hackensack River in 1946, which ended direct service to Jersey city. From that point until the end of service in 1967, you needed to change trains in Elizabethport to go to Jersey City.

James Reese asked: Where was this place?  All I remember is Penn Station.

Craig Harrison replied: It was on Broad Street next to 838 Broad Street, between Edison Place & Lafayette Street.

Reuben Rodriguez wrote: I've just followed the railroad path on Google Earth. I always wondered what the railroad bridge led to that crosses over near Newark Penn Station. It looks like it crossed over the Hackensack River, to Jersey City and into Manhattan. I see how that worked since some tracks are used for different purposes now.
