Description
Black and white photo postcard showing a dapper gentleman posing on the west side of the old railroad cut that brought the North Hudson Railway Company trains through the Palisades from a trestle that attached to a giant passenger elevator on the banks of the Hudson. Looking east towards the river, the homes at left are on the south side of Clifton Terrace. The railroad only lasted a few years, partially due to inexpensive and convenient trolley service from the West Shore Ferry terminal up Clifton Road, introduced in 1895. Postmarked September 22, 1909 from Albany, NY. Weehawken Post Card Co., Union Hill NJ. Made in Germany.
