Reply to "What Is Your Favorite Train Station?"

My favorite is the Lackawanna's Hoboken Terminal. Mainly because of the DL&W electric cars. I know some are preserved as passenger cars like at the Everett Railroad.

Have you ever been there? Good choice, however anyway. I grew up in New Jersey, first on the Central RR of New Jersey in Cranford, which had a big, elevated train station on the CNJ four track main line. In about 1955, we moved to Chatham, NJ, on the DL&W electrified Morris & Essex passenger & commuter main line. I spent LOTS of time riding into the Hoboken Terminal, which also include a ferry trip across the Hudson River to Manhattan. Not to mention, upstairs in one of the big baggage rooms of the terminal, was the New York Society of Model Engineers' HUGE model railroad. 

The Jersey Central Jersey City passenger terminal was also a spectacular place, which is now where Liberty Park is, that looks directly at the Statue of Liberty.
