Exchange Place (PRR station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exchange Place was a rail terminal in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving as the main New York City terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad before 1911, from which passengers from points west would board ferries bound for Manhattan. After 1911, with the establishment of New York Penn Station, the terminal fell into gradual disuse, and was eventually demolished. It was located at the end of the Jersey City Branch, which was elevated over Railroad Avenue (now Christopher Columbus Drive) on its approach to the station.
The PRR terminal was demolished in 1963, the last train having used it on November 17, 1961.[1] The site of the former terminal now houses the J. Owen Grundy Green Acres Waterfront Park.
