Hoboken Terminal, Railway terminal and ferry station in Hoboken, United States
Hoboken Terminal is a railway and ferry station in Hoboken featuring Beaux-Arts design with limestone walls, copper-adorned exterior, and a clock tower rising about 225 feet along the Hudson River. The station integrates eight rail lines, PATH trains, ferries, buses, and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail into one transportation hub.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad built this station in 1907 following a fire that destroyed their previous facility. It remains the last operational waterfront passenger station along this stretch of the Hudson River.
The main waiting area displays a fifty-foot Tiffany glass ceiling and bronze ornaments from the early twentieth century. These details reflect the grand vision of American transportation design from that era.
The station operates from early morning to late evening, serving approximately 50,000 passengers daily across multiple levels. Entrances are clearly marked and the location is most accessible from the waterfront or nearby streets.
The copper materials used in construction came partly from surplus material left over from building the Statue of Liberty across the Hudson River. This connection links the station to another landmark of the region.
